Currently, recycling industrial scrap metal is expensive, messy, and inefficient. Nevertheless, the goal of reducing the 25 million tons of metal waste produced each year remains top priority in the manufacturing industry. EWI has developed a new scrap metal recycling method that consolidates and extrudes a metal byproduct suitable for industrial re-use faster and in...

Inconel 718 components produced using additive manufacturing (AM) generally require heat treatment to form strengthening precipitates and optimize the phase fractions of all precipitates. Work done at EWI has been focused on developing a heat treatment procedure specifically for AM-generated IN718 parts. The results of this research are discussed in Optimization of the Post Heat...

EWI's Buffalo Manufacturing Works is an innovation engine for manufacturers in the Western New York region and beyond. In the past few years, our team has helped small and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) work with local partners to overcome barriers to technology adoption and development. The integration of new manufacturing technology into production processes helps SMMs...
