Dissimilar Materials (Page 3)

Low force friction welding, a hybrid technology developed by EWI and MTI, uses an external energy source to raise the interface temperature of the parts being welded, reducing process forces required to make a solid-state weld compared to traditional friction welding. Low Force Friction Welding of Bimetallics: Aluminum 6061 to 1020 Steel Tubes, written by...

Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites (CFRTPCs) are increasingly being used in aerospace, automotive, and oil & gas (O&G) due to their low cost, recyclability, complex shape adaptability, high strength, and low weight. The CFRTPC market worldwide is projected to grow by US$634.1 million, driven by a compounded growth of 8.3%. Continuous Carbon Fiber displays the potential...

https://youtu.be/WbtfjjIPl9w Resistance and ultrasonic processes can be superior to soldering when it comes to joining dissimilar materials in micro-components. Technology innovator EWI has the capabilities to do both. In this video, Senior Engineer Tim Frech takes you inside EWI’s fully equipped microjoining lab for a demonstration of parallel gap resistance welding of copper foil to...
