The Additive Manufacturing Consortium (AMC), operated by EWI, is pleased to announce its 2024 research portfolio, which includes two new projects and two continuations: High-strength Aluminum Testing and Characterization of Commercially Available Materials (continued) – This project will continue to evaluate previously provided builds to examine the effect of HIPing on fatigue and elevated temperature mechanical properties, porosity...

How can you build large, durable structures in deep space in a way that minimizes parts handling, simplifies construction steps, and can be automated or controlled remotely? In a project funded by NASA, EWI and BOND Technologies have developed and validated a process based on refill friction stir spot welding (RFSSW) to build a solar...

Because large industrial systems, structures, and components experience shifting stresses and loads throughout service life, risk of fatigue failure is high. Improving fatigue performance in heavy manufacturing is therefore an important priority. The good news is that many specialized methods for slowing crack formation and predicting fatigue failure have been developed in the past decades....
