Machine Learning Approach Offers Potential to Transform FGMs
With advancements in additive manufacturing, interest has grown in functionally graded materials (FGMs) as the gradual variations in their composition can provide locally tailored properties. However, they are plagued by a familiar challenge in the world of multi-material solutions – effective joining. The broad range of composition in FGMs can lead to several problems, mostRead more
Shipbuilding Project Showcases Buried Arc GMAW Technology
Shipyards typically use submerged arc welding (SAW), flux cored arc welding (FCAW) or gas metal arc welding (GMAW) to fabricate butt joints in thick steel plate. But there are drawbacks to these traditional welding methods, such as the necessity for weld joint preparation. In addition, multiple welds are often required to fill the joint. Now,Read more
Paving the Way for a Hydrogen Future
By Henry Cialone President & CEO, EWI Building new pipelines to transport hydrogen gas within the U.S. is an endeavor of high interest among companies interested in moving away from carbon-based energy sources. EWI recently partnered with a dozen industry stakeholders to kick off an 18-month program to study and test the optimal approaches forRead more
Empire State Development Announces Launch of Initiative to Further Support Innovation and Growth for Manufacturers in Western New York
Shift 2.0 Program Will Assist Manufacturing Companies with Technological Improvements and Innovation to Increase Productivity and Employment January 11, 2023 — Empire State Development (ESD) today announced Buffalo Manufacturing Works, operated by EWI, will build on the success of the Shift program, with Shift 2.0, which is designed to move small to medium-sized manufacturers fromRead more
Determining the Optimum Hydrogen Soak Times for Steel Pipe Testing
While the goal of establishing an efficient hydrogen economy increases steadily, there is still only limited data related to impact of gaseous H2 on pipe steel. Activities in EWI’s new hydrogen environmental are underway to address this issue. Required Soaking Time for Hydrogen Testing, a new paper by Applications Engineer Jesse Rhodes, describes work beingRead more
Fabrisonic Moves to 30,000-square-foot Facility
More than a dozen years ago, EWI worked on an innovative concept that applied ultrasonic welding to successive layers of metal tape to build up a solid, three-dimensional shape. This additive technique had the ability to join different metals together and enabled in-process machining of the part. Ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM) was patented, and inRead more
