Tools

Free calculators for welding metallurgy

A growing set of free reference tools, built for practicing engineers. If your project needs something these general tools don't cover, such as a custom calculation, proprietary alloy model, or procedure-specific analysis, that's exactly the kind of work Jeffrium takes on.

WRC-1992 / Schaeffler Diagram

Enter the composition of up to three alloys and their dilution levels to plot Creq/Nieq tie lines and estimate solidification mode.

Try it →

Solidification Cracking Risk (Suutala/Lippold)

Check weld metal composition against the Suutala/Lippold cracking lobe for conventional arc or pulsed laser welding, with tips to get out of the susceptible zone.

Try it →

Heat Input Calculator

Arc and beam (laser/EBW) welding heat input in SI units, with suggested (fully editable) process and material efficiencies.

Try it →

Al-Cu Solidification Cracking Susceptibility

Slide the copper content of a binary Al-Cu alloy and watch a Scheil solidification path and Kou's cracking-slope criterion trace out the classic Pumphrey & Lyons lambda curve, live.

Try it →

Weld Volume & Consumable Calculator

Estimate fillet or groove weld volume and weight, then convert it into a purchasing quantity using process deposition efficiency and a waste allowance.

Try it →

Weld Sizing & Strength Calculator

Check a simple fillet weld's allowable capacity, or analyze an eccentrically-loaded weld group by the AISC elastic method, with a live weld-group diagram.

Try it →

Welding Production & Cost Estimator

Turn wire size and feed speed into a deposition rate, arc time, shop labor hours, and a total job cost.

Custom Tools & Calculations

These calculators are free to use. If you need a custom calculation, a proprietary alloy model, or procedure-specific analysis for your program, that's exactly the kind of work Jeffrium takes on.

Need something these tools don't cover?

Custom calculations, proprietary alloy models, and procedure-specific analysis are available directly from Jeffrium, tailored to your program's exact materials and requirements.
