 7. Welded rotors manufacturing process

Welding materials for manufacturing of low pressure rotors for high capacity nuclear power
plants: 1 – yield stress (MPa); 2 – Holding time at heat treatment rate (h); a – KP 75х0.8; b –
КП 65х0.8
Minimum requirements to properties of weld metal: min. 0.8 of the respective values for
base metal; δ, ψ, KCV values may not be lower than those for base metal; critical brittle
point may not exceed that of base metal
 8. Thermal cycle of rotor welding

Thermal cycle of welding

(without heat treatment) for
26NiCrMoV type steel grades:
1 - preheating;
2 - welding of root sections;
3 - welding of cutting to a height of
15 mm (TIG);
4 - thermal rest;
5 - cooling;
6 - heating;
7 - submerged arc welding (SAW);
8 – thermal rest.
