FABRICATION PROCEDURES AND ACCEPTANCE DATA FOR ASTM A-533 WELDS AND A 10-in.thick ASTM A-543 PLATE OF THE HEAVY SECTION STEEL TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM, DOCUMENTARY REPORT 3

摘要

Several heavy-gage ASTM A-533 grade B steel plates have been purchased for evaluation by the Heavy Section Steel Technology (HSST) program. The fabrication histories of these plates were presented in ORNL-4313 and ORNL-4313-2.nTo provide weldments for investigation, practically all of the edge material from the first HSST plate was used to fabricate submerged-arc and shielded-metal-arc weldments. The weldments were made by fabricators who produce nuclear reactor pressure vessels and related components to the requirements of Sect.Ⅲ of the ASME Code for Nuclear Vessels. Each of the weldments was made in accordance with Code requirements, and the welding parameters and available test data are presented.
