Read MoreThe integrity of joints (“stack-ups”) in vehicle frames is of utmost importance when it comes to safety, dependability, and public confidence in the automotive industry. But with up to a hundred joint variations in a car’s body-in-white, it is difficult to predict joint strength properties without extensive testing. Until now. EWI has developed a rapid […]
Read MoreIntegrated computational materials engineering (ICME) principles can be applied to model thermo-mechanical material behavior in joining and additive manufacturing applications. Demonstrations and examples have been presented in several recent EWI publications.* The ICME framework can also offer a solution approach to modeling microstructural response in similar applications. EWI Principal Engineer Michael Eff and Senior Technology […]
Read MoreMagnetic materials are essential to electric propulsion systems. Key attributes of these materials include resistivity and grain size. Refining grain size increases magnetic saturation limits, and thus allows for lighter, more compact motor designs. Using powder-based processing is one way to achieve fine grain size, but the main methods for doing so are energy intensive, […]
