The H-coupon test, developed a few years ago to evaluate cracking behavior in spot-welded advanced high-strength steels (AHSS), has recently been applied to galvanized third generation AHSS. Two types of cracking have been observed in the tests of these steel grades – interfacial and zinc liquid metal embrittlement (LME). This research is discussed in Application...

If you are interested in EWI’s latest R&D for applied manufacturing, you can hear about it directly from our engineers throughout the month of March. EWI specialists will share new findings and applications at the following public forums and conferences over the next several weeks: LaMorte Women in Welding Virtual Conference, March 16, 2023 –...

The primary process today for robotic arc directed energy deposition (DED), used for large-scale additive manufacturing builds, is gas metal arc welding. However, two other processes, plasma-arc (PA) and gas tungsten arc (GTA) welding, have been recently studied at EWI and shown to offer greater control over power and material inputs during a build. EWI...
