Manufacturing engineers need tools that can help them understand microstructural changes during processes like welding, additive manufacturing, and heat treatment. Some available techniques (analytical, empirical, FEA) have been discussed in EWI’s recent ICME series* of papers. An additional approach uses phenomenological modeling to provide information important to predicting metallurgical behavior. EWI associates Rafael Giorjão and...

Optically transparent medical testing devices, such as microfluidic chips and diagnostic components, require precise and delicate welding techniques to maintain their functionality and integrity. The need for clarity and the intolerance of contaminates make most welding approaches unsuitable.  Hot plate welding is too imprecise due to the need to move the parts during the joining...

Matt Malloy Last month, EWI Automation Program Manager Matt Malloy attended Modex 2024 in Atlanta, where he checked out the hottest new technology geared toward streamlining manufacturing productivity. He was especially impressed with the range of solutions available to small and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) in terms of flexibility and cost effectiveness. Here are Matt’s top...
