CANTON, Ohio, Jan. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- TimkenSteel
Corporation (NYSE: TMST, www.timkensteel.com), a leader in
customized alloy steel products and services, today announced the
launch of its new, cloud-based mobile application to complement its
Practical Data for Metallurgists printed guide.
"Our Practical Data for Metallurgists guide has served as an
industry standard since its introduction in 1953," said
Ray Fryan, vice president of quality
and technology. "We know the guide gets a lot of use in the field,
so now, we've created a user-friendly experience that makes
referencing the guide quick, convenient and easy, in the palm of
your hand, from your mobile device."
The new application allows users to pull up the guide on their
mobile phones or tablets and navigate to any section immediately,
without flipping through pages of a book.
Downloading the app involves only a few steps for Apple or
Android users, and is accessible by visiting
www.timkensteelpd.com from the mobile device's browser.
The app takes up no space, and updates are automatic and happen in
real-time.
The app features:
- A calculations tab featuring an interactive theoretical foot
weight calculator;
- A listing of standard steels from the guide including their
chemical compositions, hardening abilities and tolerances;
- Other tabs from the guide including Steel Chemistries, Steel
Properties, Tubing, Bar and Miscellaneous Information;
- A Glossary tab with a listing of terms and definitions;
and
- A Contact Us tab with phone numbers for company facilities and
email buttons for key contacts.
"We developed the app because we thought it was an important way
to bring the knowledge and expertise that's in this 18th edition of
the guide, literally to the hands of every audience," Fryan
said.
