We are pleased to introduce Ion Storage Systems to EWI membership. Headquartered in Maryland, the company manufactures high energy density, solid-state lithium metal batteries marketed to be safer, lighter, and enable form factors with tighter packing density that enhance system performance.

Lowering the automotive industry’s environmental impact requires far more than minimizing vehicles’ carbon emissions. Manufacturers that prioritize automotive sustainability also consider reducing energy demands during production. For example, how does welding affect the environment? Welding process choices can play a significant role in lessening energy consumption and other environmental concerns in manufacturing. EWI Senior Technology...

Laser powder bed fusion is being used with increasing frequency in manufacturing operations. Some L-PBF materials, however, are still prone to stress and cracking. EWI has created a new “laser stirring” technique that improves results in some of the most common L-PBF alloys including SS316L, Ti-6Al-4V, and Ni718. The results are discussed in Effect of...
