Manufacturing Innovation (Page 9)

2020 turned out a lot different than anyone expected. At EWI, we worked hard to meet new market demands and shifting industry needs. By redirecting our offerings to address the changing circumstances, we developed new R&D initiatives, joint projects, training programs, and innovative technologies to benefit the manufacturing sector. You can see some of 2020’s...

Solid-state welding processes are a group of technologies in which joining is accomplished without melting the individual substrates. In these processes, bonding is accomplished by a combination of heating and forging. Heating is used to both lower the flow stresses enabling forging, as well as promote diffusion between the individual substrates. Common variations of these...

Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites (CFRTPCs) are increasingly being used in aerospace, automotive, and oil & gas (O&G) due to their low cost, recyclability, complex shape adaptability, high strength, and low weight. The CFRTPC market worldwide is projected to grow by US$634.1 million, driven by a compounded growth of 8.3%. Continuous Carbon Fiber displays the potential...
