Advancing Polymer Weld Analysis to Prevent Fatigue Failures  At EWI, we always strive to solve the most pressing manufacturing challenges. We’re excited to announce the launch of a groundbreaking research initiative that focuses on a critical issue in polymer welding — identifying the relationship between intermolecular diffusion and fatigue failures using Heated After Cross-Section (HACS)...

This should come as no surprise to product designers and manufacturers.... Bringing a new product to market takes a lot of time, money, and engineering know-how. Each phase in development – concept, design, prototyping, validation, and production – presents unique challenges that require special attention. If ignored, problems can mount and costs increase as development...

Using polymer pipelines safely and reliably in an energy transmission network requires a solid understanding of how the materials will be affected when exposed to CO2 at a range of different processing conditions. What happens when CO2 pressure, temperature, and mechanical loading – or all three – shift in the field? What kind of material...
