onsite assessment

EWI assists Members and their suppliers by troubleshooting materials joining issues that arise during production. By performing various types of assessments and analyses onsite, we help them reduce loses and optimize the manufacturing solution. EWI engineers are available to assist with single day or multi-day assessment engagements.

General Technical Assistance: Our skilled staff provides general technical assistance, advice, and troubleshooting when Members have issues on the manufacturing floor.

In-plant Assessments: EWI travels to Member sites to conduct in-plant assessments to resolve joining issues and help optimize production efficiencies.

Failure Analysis: Our engineers and scientists have advanced training and industrial experience in metallurgy, failure analysis, finite element analysis and structural integrity.

Process Optimization/DOE: EWI conducts designs of experiment (DOEs), establishes process windows and addresses fit-up issues in order to optimize production and save our Members money.

Repair Development: We develop joint repair procedures for commercial products and use computer modeling to predict residual stress and distortion in order to improve design.

Testing: EWI conducts non-destructive evaluation (NDE) along with standard, specialized, mechanical, metallurgical, penetration, and other test procedures. Most testing can be done full-scale in our state-of-the-art labs.
