Process Innovation (Page 2)

EWI uses integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) methods to analyze correlations between processing conditions, thermal response, microstructures, and mechanical properties to predict performance in joining and additive manufacturing. The resulting information is used to create unique tools for modeling and simulation with the potential to deliver huge time and cost savings to manufacturers. EWI Senior...

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...

Directed energy deposition (DED), which leverages commercial robotic welding systems, is an agile and economical large-scale additive manufacturing (AM) process. DED AM is low risk since it leverages existing welding process equipment, consumables, procedures, and standards – which all have decades of proven performance. Using DED “digital” computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software, component structures can be...
