First Time Quality (Page 4)

In metal additive manufacturing (AM), grain size variations within the material microstructure can have a significant impact on its mechanical properties, thus affecting the integrity of the part. Being able to accurately measure grain size distribution throughout the build can be used to improve part strength and fatigue life. EWI has developed a grain size...

Are you seeking an automated solution to assess quality, reliability, and safety in your manufacturing operation? EWI recently worked with materialsIN to develop a real-time quality assurance system for ultrasonically welded, lithium-ion battery tabs. In a new paper, A Fully Automated Quality Assurance Solution for Battery Tab Welds Using Process Monitoring and AI, EWI engineers...

Auto manufacturers and suppliers need a valid, reliable way to detect flaws in electric vehicle battery enclosures, or modules. EWI has developed an inexpensive testing method with demonstrated feasibility! Our team validated an EV battery testing procedure involving colorimetric chemical reagents and a reactive gas. It’s a high-resolution marking method that’s faster and clearer than...
