Corrosion is a pervasive and natural issue in all metal products. What are its implications when additive manufacturing (AM) is the primary method of production? Is corrosion behavior in AM builds different from components manufactured using more traditional processes? These questions are addressed in The Unique Corrosion Concerns of Additive Manufacturing, written by EWI Principal...

When it comes to joining dissimilar materials in lithium-ion batteries, ultrasonic metal welding is fast and efficient. However, due to tool wear, the sonotrodes used in battery joining have to be completely replaced frequently. EWI has developed a new design approach that uses finite element analysis (FEA) to evaluate ultrasonic welding tools with replaceable knurl...

As interest in transitioning to hydrogen as a replacement for fossil fuels increases, there is a need to evaluate existing natural gas pipelines to see if they can be effectively retrofitted for safe, reliable hydrogen transport. EWI has established a joint industry program to conduct rigorous testing, close the knowledge gaps, and develop operator guidance...
