The AWS Sheet Metal Welding Conference (SMWC XVIII) has announced its call for papers on the topic of “Welding Solutions for Lightweight Vehicle Production.” The conference, sponsored in partnership with EWI and ALAW, will be held October 17-18, 2018, in Livonia, Michigan. According to Jerry Gould, EWI Senior Technical Advisor and SMWC Technical Co-chair, topics of […]
Read MoreRecently, EWI helped NanoSteel evaluate and validate the weldability of this new sheet steel both to itself and to other commonly used sheet steels.
Read MoreThis low-heat, solid-state joining process can join dissimilar materials quickly, and requires low operator skill.
Read MoreThe AWS Detroit Sheet Metal Welding Conference (SMWC) is a bi-annual event focused on new research in the areas of automotive joining and assembly. EWI has long been a event sponsor, and serves on the technical leadership team. The 17th conference (32rd year!) took place October 19-20. SWMC XVII featured three keynote presentations. The first, by Dr. Felix […]
Read MoreLinear friction welding allows for the solid-state joining of parts that are non-axi-symmetric and made of dissimilar or even non-weldable materials.
Read MoreThis lecture covered dissimilar metals joining, its advantages and drawbacks, ways to enhance the process under various conditions, and guidelines for designing effective welding procedures.
Read MoreOn December 15, 2015, EWI offered an online seminar on Dissimilar Materials Weldability Concepts. The webinar was presented by Alber Sadek, EWI Senior Engineer in Materials Engineering…
Read MoreHere’s a test to see if you’re a Common Man… If I asked you (95% of the people reading this blog) to describe what welding is, I’m guessing you would describe one of two things: Arcs and/or Sparks. When I started here at EWI as CFO, I pictured either a guy flipping down his welding […]
Read MoreToday’s “Meet the FSW Team” features Zak Pramann. Zak has been at EWI for four years and comes to us fresh from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. Being a metallurgical engineer, Zak provides a unique perspective to the FSW team – helping to explain the mechanics behind some of the FSW interactions […]
Read MoreDesign engineers are increasingly faced with the need to join dissimilar materials as they are seeking creative new structures or parts with tailor-engineered properties. Sometimes a part needs high-temperature resistance in one area, good corrosion resistance in another. Structures may need toughness or wear resistance in one area combined with high strength in another location. […]
