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...

Choosing materials for a new medical device or consumer product is not a trivial task; without proper care, costly late-stage issues can derail an entire program. Material failures for medical devices, for example, are common and costly; 30-40% of FDA recalls are due to material issues.1 These issues may include compatibility of the fluid formulation...
