Read MoreManufacturing engineers need tools that can help them understand microstructural changes during processes like welding, additive manufacturing, and heat treatment. Some available techniques (analytical, empirical, FEA) have been discussed in EWI’s recent ICME series* of papers. An additional approach uses phenomenological modeling to provide information important to predicting metallurgical behavior. EWI associates Rafael Giorjão and […]
Read MoreThe integrity of joints (“stack-ups”) in vehicle frames is of utmost importance when it comes to safety, dependability, and public confidence in the automotive industry. But with up to a hundred joint variations in a car’s body-in-white, it is difficult to predict joint strength properties without extensive testing. Until now. EWI has developed a rapid […]
Read MoreIntegrated computational materials engineering (ICME) principles can be applied to model thermo-mechanical material behavior in joining and additive manufacturing applications. Demonstrations and examples have been presented in several recent EWI publications.* The ICME framework can also offer a solution approach to modeling microstructural response in similar applications. EWI Principal Engineer Michael Eff and Senior Technology […]
Read MoreMagnetic materials are essential to electric propulsion systems. Key attributes of these materials include resistivity and grain size. Refining grain size increases magnetic saturation limits, and thus allows for lighter, more compact motor designs. Using powder-based processing is one way to achieve fine grain size, but the main methods for doing so are energy intensive, […]

EWI Senior Technology Leader Jerry Gould will present the keynote address, “Use of Capacitor Discharge Welding […]
Read MoreManufacturing strategies in the 21st century are driven by the need to bring new and differentiated products to market at increasingly accelerated rates. Newer designs, application of advanced materials, and reduced development times propel manufacturers to employ innovative approaches for characterizing performance. To this end, integrated computational materials engineering (ICME), an analytical framework used to […]
Read MoreMaterials Science & Technology 2023 October 1-4, 2023 Greater Columbus Convention Center, Columbus, OH Four EWI associates will present recent R&D at MS&T 2023: Jerry Gould, Senior Technology Leader — Development of Resistance Seam Cladding for Corrosion Resistant Liners in Line Pipe Olga Eliseeva, Applications Engineer — Resistance Sintering Technique for Advance Metal Matrix Composite […]
Read MoreIntegrated computational materials engineering (ICME) can be used effectively to understand thermal excursions and mechanical response in single-shot joining methods such as resistance-spot, flash-butt, friction, hot-gas, and thermite welding. As part of EWI’s ongoing series of papers examining the uses of ICME as a prediction tool in manufacturing, Senior Technology Leader Jerry Gould has written […]
