Heavy Manufacturing

Staying competitive in large-structure production is vital for American industries today. The Accelerating Production of Large Structures and Systems (RAPLSS) survey initiative, sponsored by NIST Manufacturing USA and managed by EWI, aims to develop a national manufacturing roadmap. The Need for Large Structure Production 4.0 Technologies US industries must adopt leading-edge technologies for large structure...

As the energy sector expands its efforts to find economically viable methods to produce carbon-neutral power, EWI has broadened its capabilities to address this area of concern. Recently, we have reported about our work in materials evaluation for H2 service and our new hydrogen testing lab, as well as our efforts to apply our expertise...

Understanding Lithium Batteries for Electric Vehicle Applications -- a new EWI guide Lithium-ion batteries are costly, but they dominate in electric vehicle applications because they can achieve high operating voltages and very high energy efficiency while also maintaining a small size and footprint. With so much interest in Li batteries comes more R&D geared to...
