Twin-wire gas metal arc welding (TW-GMAW) was recently evaluated for use in high-productivity precision fillet welding applications by EWI. The results show that TW-GMAW offers deep penetration, a wide and smooth underbead profile, omni-directional deposition, process stability with variations in CTWD, lower cost setup, and high-deposition arc-DED building capabilities. EWI associates Michael Carney, Dennis Harwig,...

Binder jetting offers unique material options compared to high-energy deposition alternatives. Coupled with low running costs, binder jetting can provide an effective method to produce finished parts at nearly production-ready speeds. This additive manufacturing (AM) method is being considered for applications in high-volume industries such as automotive where it is cost-competitive to casting. Binder jetting...

Corrosion is an inescapable, ongoing issue for most manufacturers. There are, however, different science-based options for preventing, detecting, evaluating, and mitigating corrosion. Josh James, EWI Principal Engineer and Research Leader, provides a concise overview of these approaches in his new paper, Corrosion Science: An Indispensable Tool Kit in All Manufacturing Development Stages. You are invited...
