In additive manufacturing (AM), post-processing steps are just as crucial to the success of the final product as the build itself. That’s why both the build process and the post process need to be taken into account in models that predict AM part performance. A new performance prediction tool for AM-built parts has been developed […]
Read MoreWhile conventional flash thermography is ideal for polymer materials, it can be challenging when used with metals due to reflectivity of the component. With pulsed eddy-current-assisted thermography (PECT), ferrous and non-ferrous steels, as well as titanium, can be inspected without surface reflection interference. Internal research on flattened, painted, and steel pipe is ongoing at EWI […]

Read MoreFriction welding, a solid-state process that uses high-speed spindles to weld materials, is notably effective for joining dissimilar materials. EWI has recently developed a new micro-friction welder for small-scale, dissimilar metals joining. The system has been demonstrated on both aluminum-to-titanium and aluminum-to-stainless joints. Application of Micro-friction Welding for Dissimilar Metals, a paper by EWI’s Jerry […]
