Thank you to our sponsors and booth visitors for another positive experience at DMC in Phoenix last month. EWI Associates were able to connect with many decision makers from government agencies and DoD-related commercial companies for the third consecutive year. Prior to DMC, EWI had shared information with the defense community on advanced manufacturing technologies, […]

Read MoreWelding-induced distortion is a persistent challenge for many fabricators, especially those using arc-based welding processes. While trial-and-error methods can be effectively used to reduce distortion, such approaches are time-consuming and expensive. EWI is leading the way by developing efficient and accurate modeling approaches that allow manufacturers to quickly evaluate a range of distortion control techniques, […]
Read MoreEWI is pleased to offer DISSIMILAR MATERIALS WELDABILITY CONCEPTS, an online seminar presented by EWI’s Alber Sadek on December 15, 2015, at 1:00pm. This webinar is free, and registration is open to the public.
Read MoreWeld joints in electronics and biomedical devices are getting smaller and more complex, while reliability remains a high priority. This is certainly true when it comes to manufacturing battery cells…
Read MoreWithin the automotive industry, OEMs and suppliers are fully aware of the need to create lighter-weight, more fuel-efficient automobiles to meet impending 2025 CAFE standards and help minimize the negative impact of CO2 emissions on our environment. Vehicle weight reduction can most effectively be accomplished by using advanced materials; however, welding of these high-performance alloys poses […]
Read MoreWe have had recent interest in looking at methods to join thermoplastics and thermoset composites to titanium from both the aerospace and medical communities. Generally, thermoset composites have higher temperature resistance than thermoplastic materials and must be bonded because they do not melt. Thermoplastic materials are easier to mold and will flow when heated. Therefore […]
Read MoreNarrow-groove (NG) welding is defined, in part, by the American Welding Society (AWS) as “a variation of a multiple-pass welding process with filler metal, using a small root opening and a V-groove with a small groove angle”. This yields a weld with a high ratio of depth to width. Narrow-groove welding techniques are well-established for […]
Read MoreEWI’s upcoming Fundamentals of Welding Engineering class for March is sold out! Due to the overwhelming response, we have scheduled the next class for the week of June 15, 2015. Registration is now open. This five-day course provides engineers and technicians an overview of the various aspects of welding technology. The course is organized into […]
Read MoreUsually, the engineers in EWI’s Advanced Automation group produce drawings for assembly technicians or machinists, but earlier this year our skills were used for something completely different. In advance of the grand opening of the EWI-operated Buffalo Manufacturing Works in Western New York, our design department was asked to help produce a virtual video of […]
