Manufacturing Innovation (Page 3)

Last week, EWI associates took some time to celebrate National Engineers Week 2023 – a yearly, weeklong event whereby we recognize our technical talent and acknowledge our line of business with lots of food, fun, and healthy competition amongst associates in our Columbus and Buffalo laboratories. Project Engineer Olga Eliseeva took the win for this...

With advancements in additive manufacturing, interest has grown in functionally graded materials (FGMs) as the gradual variations in their composition can provide locally tailored properties. However, they are plagued by a familiar challenge in the world of multi-material solutions – effective joining. The broad range of composition in FGMs can lead to several problems, most...

Building upon the success of our novel tele-manufacturing prototype systems, EWI has been hard at work on another innovation: tele-gouging. A direct outgrowth of tele-welding, tele-gouging is like shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) but with the addition of 80-100 psi of pressure at the torch to blow away molten metal. Due to the high pressure,...
