Robotic arc directed energy deposition (DED) additive manufacturing (AM) offers maximum build volume for building structures, adding features to structures, and repairing structures. The technical requirements for metal DED builds are similar to welding requirements. For example, the pending NAVSEA Technical Publication - Process Requirements for Metal Directed Energy Deposition Additive Manufacturing1 will specify maximum...

With advanced high-strength steels (AHSS), standard formability tests yield insufficient data to determine the failure strain that triggers edge cracking. EWI has successfully evaluated a new testing method on DP780 steel which has the potential to help the automotive industry reduce design time, scrap rates, and other costs. New Method for Determining Failure Criteria for...

Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites (CFRTPCs) are increasingly being used in aerospace, automotive, and oil & gas (O&G) due to their low cost, recyclability, complex shape adaptability, high strength, and low weight. The CFRTPC market worldwide is projected to grow by US$634.1 million, driven by a compounded growth of 8.3%. Continuous Carbon Fiber displays the potential...
