When using laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) in additive manufacturing (AM), it is critical to be able to validate your system’s laser focal spot characteristics prior to production. Failure to do so can result in inconsistent quality in your builds and an expensive loss of time in your manufacturing operation. EWI has developed a new...

As more industries look toward additively manufactured (AM) components to optimize lead times, cost of complexity, and more, those industries must evaluate the performance of materials produced by AM processes in comparison to their well-documented wrought or machined counterparts. The fact of the matter is that similitude is not a given. While calling it a...

Low force friction welding, a hybrid technology developed by EWI and MTI, uses an external energy source to raise the interface temperature of the parts being welded, reducing process forces required to make a solid-state weld compared to traditional friction welding. Low Force Friction Welding of Bimetallics: Aluminum 6061 to 1020 Steel Tubes, written by...
