Ultrasonic metal welding is an excellent process for the joining of dissimilar metals in electric vehicle batteries. The ability to monitor the joint during the welding processes is important for identifying faulty welds and avoiding product failure. Recently, EWI has made some important progress in in-situ monitoring for ultrasonic metal welding. Applications engineer Lindsey Lindamood...

ASTM International’s Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence (AM CoE) will hold its 4th Snapshot Workshop on AM Industrialization and Automation on Sept. 11, 2020. The workshop coincides with the issue of the center's second annual report, which highlights the robust portfolio of AM projects to accelerate research to standards, expansion of global team members and...

In a study conducted for the National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP), EWI demonstrated that buried arc gas metal arc welding (GMAW-B) could be a superior method for joining thick steel metal plates with lower distortion. This work is discussed in a paper by EWI associates Nick Kapustka and Paul Blomquist, High Penetration Buried Arc Gas...
