Heavy Manufacturing (Page 2)

Because large industrial systems, structures, and components experience shifting stresses and loads throughout service life, risk of fatigue failure is high. Improving fatigue performance in heavy manufacturing is therefore an important priority. The good news is that many specialized methods for slowing crack formation and predicting fatigue failure have been developed in the past decades....

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...
