Resistance-based Sintering Technology: Achieving Efficiency and Energy Savings
Metal-powder sintering is an attractive production technology due to its ability to create near-net shape products from a variety of materials at a relatively low cost. Conventional methods for conducting sintering in high volumes involve pre-compacting green-state powders and then applying heat-based consolidation using furnaces. Conventional sintering methods, however, don’t offer the speed, cost-efficiency, energy […]

Understanding Analytical Modeling of Thermal Excursions for Continuous Joining Processes
Integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) is an ever-growing field of study providing tools that can be directly applied to a range of manufacturing processes. Analytical modeling frameworks for assessing thermal excursions comprise a key element of welding ICME. A useful subset of these frameworks can be employed to understand thermal excursions in welding and joining. […]

Applying EWI’s H-coupon Test to Galvanized GEN3 AHSS
The H-coupon test, developed a few years ago to evaluate cracking behavior in spot-welded advanced high-strength steels (AHSS), has recently been applied to galvanized third generation AHSS. Two types of cracking have been observed in the tests of these steel grades – interfacial and zinc liquid metal embrittlement (LME). This research is discussed in Application […]

Applying ICME in Joining and Additive Manufacturing
EWI uses integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) methods to analyze correlations between processing conditions, thermal response, microstructures, and mechanical properties to predict performance in joining and additive manufacturing. The resulting information is used to create unique tools for modeling and simulation with the potential to deliver huge time and cost savings to manufacturers. EWI Senior […]
