ISOPE 2021

ISOPE 2021 June 20-25, 2021 Virtual Event Tom McGaughy, EWI Senior Technology Leader for Structural Integrity, will present “Improving Structural Weld Fatigue Performance via Surfacing Techniques,” at ISOPE.

New Technique to Improve Fatigue Resistance and Extend Service Life of Welded Structures

Improving the service life of welded structures is a key goal in the energy, transportation, heavy manufacturing, and defense industries. Decreasing or delaying fatigue crack initiation can add years of service and reduce costs significantly for an ongoing operation. EWI recently conducted an early-stage feasibility study to assess friction surface processing, a new technique for […]

Joint Industry Project: Weldability of High-Manganese Steel for LNG

With the recent rise in global demand for liquified natural gas (LNG), there is a growing need to build new export terminals in the United States. Materials and fabrication costs for these facilities are very high and subject to broad fluctuation. For these reasons, builders have been looking at materials that are less costly to […]
