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...

Navigating the Engineering Demands of E-mobility Vehicle electrification – once considered a trend related primarily to the manufacturing and assembly of batteries – now affects nearly every aspect of today’s vehicles. As the demand for vehicle electrification rapidly increases, manufacturers and suppliers face an array of engineering challenges. To help manufacturers prepare for and navigate...
