voestalpine Welding Calculator 1.5.1

The voestalpine Welding Calculator, developed by the voestalpine Steel Division in collaboration with Böhler Welding, offers a sophisticated approach to managing welding tasks.

This tool is designed to assist professionals in planning and optimizing their welding operations by calculating specific manufacturing parameters for both base and filler materials. Its user-friendly interface allows for efficient computations critical to the success of any welding project.

• Cooling Rate t8/5 (according to EN 1011-2): This feature evaluates whether the selected welding parameters fall within the recommended processing range. It highlights the need for optimization to ensure process reliability in weld seam production. Additionally, an integrated retrograde calculation function enables tailored adaptations for specific welding tasks.
• Preheating Temperature Tp: This function determines if unalloyed and low-alloyed steel grades, in accordance with EN 1011-2, Annex C.3, and ANSI/AWS D1.1, Appendix H, require preheating. This prevents cold cracking and further assesses whether edge drying is necessary based on current climatic conditions.
• Calculation of Filler Material Volume: The calculator provides precise calculations on the required volume of filler material needed for each welding seam.

With these features, the voestalpine Welding Calculator stands out as a comprehensive resource for professionals seeking reliable answers and insights for their upcoming welding projects.
