Data at your finger tips with new welding app
SANDVIK Welding, a new welding
app for smartphones and tablets, has
been specifically designed with on-
the-job functionality to meet welding
professionals’ requirements when
planning and performing welding
projects. The app was launched on the
Sandvik stand at Tube 2016, where
the company’s welding specialists
demonstrated its features and
answered visitors’ questions.
Built with a focus on ease of navigation,
the new app brings extensive information
to hand for welding engineers, welders,
specifiers, project engineers and owner
operators. Its useful technical data
allows users to plan which grades to
choose for which jobs, make ferrite
calculations, determine the level of heat
input for a specific grade, select filler
material and get help.
Information is provided on welding
parameters, gas shielding, maximum
interpass temperatures and post-
weld treatments. All calculations and
recommendations are designed to
help operators and planners ensure a
good weld metallurgy is achieved in the
weldment while maintaining optimum
material properties.
“We believe the new Welding app to
be the most comprehensive available
today, providing welding engineers with
a vast amount of informative data and
practical functions, all created to meet
customers’ welding needs in a handy
form right to their phone or tablet,”
explained Clemente Tallarico, Sandvik
global product manager welding.
The app was designed following
years of experience in helping solve
complex project applications and
continuous consultation with and
feedback from customers.
“It is this close cooperation with our
customers that helps us ensure that
the data presented in the app is as
close as possible to the information
welding engineers find helpful in
their everyday operations,” added
Mr Tallarico. Complementing the app
is the recently launched Sandvik
Welding Handbook.
Downloadable and
available exclusively
online, it contains
c o m p r e h e n s i v e
product information
and data sheets.
As new grades or
information are
added, both the app
and the handbook
are automatically
updated.
The newest ver-
sion of the handbook can be down-
loaded from
welding-handbook
The Sandvik Welding app is free
to download, and is available now for
iPhone and iPad from the Apple App
store, and Google.play for Android
devices.
