In the energy sector, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is poised to play a key role in achieving many forward-thinking policy and industrial goals. Creating and ensuring a safe, sound CO2 transmission system, however, will not be easy. There are many technical issues to address and solve.
EWI Principal Engineer and Research Leader Joshua James has written Materials and Operation Challenges in Modern CCUS System Design to examine these complexities and their potential solutions. You are invited to download this paper FOR FREE by submitting the form on this page.

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.
EWI Senior Technology Leader Jerry Gould has written Analytical Methods for Predicting Thermal Excursions for Continuous Joining Processes to explain how this class models were developed and how they work in several joining applications.

Emerging materials such as high-strength aluminum alloys, advanced high-strength steels (AHSS), and GEN3 steel have been increasingly applied in sheet metal forming components. These materials are known to have unique elastic and plastic material behaviors which create new challenges for engineers and designers. One of the behaviors is springback.
Springback challenges include difficulties predicting, controlling, and then compensating in the design and production phases. Therefore, a reliable springback prediction method is important to reduce downtime and increase efficiency as the part reaches the production stage. EWI has developed a new methodology to predict springback more accurately than previously. This method includes cyclic tension compression testing to create a material card that is suitable for predicting springback and experimental testing with a S-Rail die with real-time springback measurements to validate the material card.
