The nuclear reactor pressure vessel (RPV) is the most critical pressure boundary and safety
structure in a nuclear power plant, as it contains the reactor core and coolant. RPVs, which …

The microstructure development and mechanical behaviour of dissimilar metal welds
between ferritic and austenitic steel, as well as their application in nuclear power plants, are …

This investigation probabilistically assesses the fracture mechanics of pi** welds in a
nuclear power plant considering the effects of welding residual stresses. To assess the …

This work investigates the role of cooling rate on solid-state phase transformation (SSPT)
during laser welding, as well as its effect on generating residual stress in single pass …

The paper presents the effects of waterproof coatings use to cover electrodes on the
weldability of high-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) steel in water. With the aim of improving the …

This study proposes an effective repair technology using arc additive manufacturing for
pressurized water reactors (PWRs) in nuclear power plants (NPP) aimed at avoiding …

A great deal of effort goes into production of modern steel for structural applications. The
structural integrity of the steel becomes compromised when it is welded to form engineering …

The GMAW process with rotating wire is an advance of the conventional GMAW, where the
rotational motion of the wire overcomes the main drawback of the sidewall's lack of fusion …

As a result of their excellent creep strength at high temperatures, oxide dispersion
strengthened alloys are attractive candidates as structural materials for high temperature …

An important goal in a number of optimization studies is a high-quality weld joint. Thermal
analysis of AISI 1020 low carbon steel plate agglutinated by gas tungsten arc welding …
