Springback is a critical challenge of forming and welding sheet metal parts for manufacturing applications in the aerospace, automotive, energy, electronics, and heavy manufacturing industries. Springback measurements can vary with material properties, stress-strain variables, part geometry, friction between forming tools, etc. It is difficult to eliminate springback during cold forming processes, but it can be...

With the rapid acceleration of additive manufacturing (AM) throughout industry, there is a need for high-quality, affordable metal powders. Material requirements can vary depending on the process and system used, and frequently custom process parameters for new powder must be developed. Whether you are a powder developer looking to certify your product or a manufacturer...

While the VDA tight bend radius test is the standard in industry, it does not measure strain fracture limits. EWI has created a new bendability testing method that combines the VDA test with digital image correlation (DIC) to produce much more accurate results. The experiments conducted to validate this new approach tested seven different advanced...
