ICME

The Future of QA/QC in Advanced Manufacturing Speed, smarter sensors, and the human-in-the-loop advantage As reshoring, reinvestment, and rapid innovation reshape North American manufacturing, one area is emerging as a cornerstone of competitiveness: quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC). Manufacturers are facing unprecedented pressure to get products to market faster, operate efficiently, and ensure uncompromising...

Are you looking for a method to predict material behavior during additive manufacturing? EWI has examined and validated the use of a cellular automation approach for numerical grain growth modeling during solidification in dynamic processes like AM. As part of EWI’s ICME* series, Alex Kitt and Lang Yuan have written Predicting Grain Growth During Additive...

In EWI’s ongoing series* on incorporating integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) methods for material behavior prediction, several techniques have been examined. For complex, multicomponent systems, however, the CALPHAD approach offers an expanded understanding of known properties and experimental data. A paper by EWI Applications Engineer Rafael Giorjão, Numerical Microstructural Modeling Tools as Applied to Welding...
