Both material type and thickness can affect formability modeling, which is based, in part, on forming limit diagrams(FLDs). When the EWI forming lab experienced edge cracking and distortion with thin, nickel-based super alloy, it decided to test the material against the ISO standard for FLDs. Would the standard hold up? EWI Applications Engineer Laura Zoller...

The introduction of lighter and stronger metals in automotive design is an overall win for both manufacturers and consumers. The properties of these advanced materials, however, make crash performance modeling a challenge. EWI has developed a new solution for predicting crash behavior that can save automakers both time and money. Addressing the Role of Joints...

EWI recently completed a study which demonstrated the suitability of tandem/twin gas-metal arc welding for directed energy deposition (DED). Twin-wire pulsed technology offers a superior deposition rate, excellent feature fairness, and is tolerant to contact-tip-to-work variations. Because it is omni-directional with respect to travel direction and torchwire orientation, the process is compatible with robotic computer-aided...
