The integration of advanced high-strength steels in automotive body-in-white manufacturing has made vehicles lighter, improved crash performance, and reduced noise, vibration and harshness. However, the use of AHSS materials has also been correlated to spot weld cracking, especially with Gen 3 steel grades. EWI’s new H-coupon test was developed to assess the influence of gap...

EWI’s June 2021 webinar program will feature recently published research findings based on three internal R&D projects: A Solution for Laser Beam Quality Analysis in L-PBF and Remote Laser Welding Systems, presented by Applications Engineer Jacob Hay on Thursday, June 10th at 1:00 pm EDT. Co-processing of Hybrid Laser Arc Welding and Submerged Arc Welding...

In-situ process monitoring has been around for a while in most manufacturing industries – from the trained eye of a supervisor to an automated manufacturing execution system. Additive manufacturing (AM) is no different; it uses sensors to provide both a better understanding of the process and valuable data that can be analyzed to infer the...
