PITTSBURGH, Feb. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- TimkenSteel (NYSE:
TMST), a leading manufacturer of special bar quality (SBQ) large
bars and seamless mechanical tubing, is leveraging the power of
ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS) simulation to solve customers' engineering
challenges.
TimkenSteel creates tailored products and services for its
customers' most demanding applications. Its engineers are experts
in both materials and applications and work closely with customers
to deliver solutions tailored to their applications and supply
chains. To quickly develop those custom services, TimkenSteel uses
ANSYS computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solutions to simulate
material behavior during the heat treat process. These simulations
reduce trial-and-error in the plant to optimize heat-treated steel
products. TimkenSteel's products are used in the manufacture of
components for the agricultural, construction, military, mining,
oil and gas, power generation and rail markets.
"TimkenSteel will continue to use the best predictive tools to
optimize our products for our most demanding customers, and ANSYS
has established a prominent place in our arsenal of sophisticated
modeling capabilities," said Ray
Fryan, vice president of technology and quality at
TimkenSteel.
TimkenSteel, recently spun off by The Timken Company,
manufactures a wide range of alloy, carbon and micro-alloy steel
with an annual melt capacity of approximately 2 million tons. The
company's product lines include SBQ bars, seamless mechanical
tubing and precision steel components. TimkenSteel also has
extensive research and development capabilities to answer
customers' toughest engineering challenges.
"We were impressed by the breadth and depth of ANSYS®
Fluent®, its capabilities for industrial design
applications and by the excellent service that ANSYS provides,"
said Don Cao, product engineering
specialist at TimkenSteel who specializes in advanced modeling.
"Fluent's fast, accurate CFD results are helping us to optimize
productivity and quality – and give our customers exactly what they
need."
