Weld thermal history, which greatly affects material microstructure especially in the heat affected zone (HAZ), can be difficult to predict accurately. As part of its ICME approach to predicting microstructural behavior in welding steels, EWI employs welding thermal cycle data -- welding parameters, materials chemical composition, joint design, and materials thickness as baseline inputs --...

This past September, EWI was awarded a $17 million, 3-year contract with the U.S. Air Force to develop convergent manufacturing (CM) platforms for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) sustainment. The project is now being managed under the auspices of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). Technical development work is already taking place at EWI’s labs...

As low-carbon energy options continue to evolve, EWI has been exploring related challenges including the qualification of new materials for hydrogen service, concerns related to legacy infrastructure conversion, and thermophysical modeling of impurity interactions. A year ago, we inaugurated our Environmental Testing Laboratory, focused on the evaluation of material properties under exposure to high-pressure, gaseous...
