Abstract:
The invention provides a method of manufacturing a transition piece that has a high degree of freedom in adjustment of a length, a shape, or the like, can carry out a dissimilar metal welding easily, and is easy to perform, and a transition piece. The transition piece includes one end having the same composition as one material to be welded, another end having the same composition as another material to be welded, and an intermediate layer formed between the one end and the other end. The composition of the one end and the composition of the other end become the same as approaching a center. In the method of manufacturing the transition piece according to the invention, at least the intermediate layer among the one end, the other end, and the intermediate layer is formed by a additive manufacturing method.
Abstract:
The present invention is intended is to improve the corrosion resistance of an overlay used in a nuclear power plant, and to reduce dissolution of cobalt from an overlay. The corrosion and wear resistant overlay is formed along a surface of a base by laser lamination modeling, and is configured from a plurality of metal layers of a Co-base alloy. The thickness of carbide eutectics that precipitate in the metal layers is the largest in the metal layer closest to the base, and is gradually smaller in the metal layers farther away from the base. The intensity of the laser beam applied to form layers by laser lamination modeling is adjusted so that the carbide eutectics that precipitate in at least the outermost metal layer have a controlled size of 10 μm or less.
Abstract:
A gas supply apparatus of the present invention includes: an operating valve that is placed in the middle of a piping for letting at least gas in a plant flow and that operates a valve main body by the gas flowing in the piping; a first electromagnetic valve that is placed in the middle of the piping and that opens or closes a flow of the gas to the operating valve; and a gas supply source that supplies the first electromagnetic valve with the gas. A gas discharge line of the first electromagnetic valve has a switching valve placed therein and has a second electromagnetic valve placed between the switching valve and the gas supply source. The switching valve switches between a gas discharge from the first electromagnetic valve and a gas supply to the first electromagnetic valve. When a power source is lost, the switching valve is switched to connection to the gas supply source so as to supply the first electromagnetic valve with the gas. At the time of a normal operation, the second electromagnetic valve opens a gas discharge line side and closes a switching valve side, and when the power source is lost, the second electromagnetic valve opens the switching valve side and closes the gas discharge line side. In this way, even when the power source is lost, an operating valve such as an air-operated valve can not only be operated remotely but also be operated safely by a remote operator.
Abstract:
A high reliable water injection device is provided that injects water into a reactor containment vessel and can reliably shut off cooling water at normal times and quickly and reliably inject water into the reactor containment vessel without the need for external power, in a case of emergency. The water injection device injects water into a reactor containment vessel includes a flow path through which cooling water is supplied; a disk that closes the flow path; a swing arm that is connected to the disk and performs closing and opening of the flow path by the disk; and a weight that is connected to the swing arm via a swing lever, in which the weight is supported by a support member made of a low melting point alloy.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to remote operation of an operation valve such as an air operated valve even at the time of power loss. A gas supply apparatus of the present invention includes: an operation valve mounted in some midpoint of a piping for passing at least gas in a plant and operating a valve body by the gas flowing in the piping; an solenoid valve mounted in some midpoint of the piping and allowing/stopping flow of the gas to the operation valve; and a gas supply source for supplying gas to the solenoid valve. A switching valve for switching between exhaust from the solenoid valve and gas supply to the solenoid valve is mounted in an exhaust line of the solenoid valve and, at the time of power loss, the switching valve is switched to connection to the gas supply source for supplying gas to the solenoid valve.

Intended is to improve the corrosion resistance of an overlay used in a nuclear power plant, and to reduce dissolution of cobalt from an overlay. The corrosion and wear resistant overlay 7 is formed along a surface of a base 2 by laser lamination modeling, and is configured from a plurality of metal layers 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d of a Co-base alloy. The thickness of carbide eutectics that precipitate in the metal layers 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d is the largest in the metal layer 1a closest to the base 2, and is gradually smaller in the metal layers 1b, 1c, and 1d farther away from the base 2. The intensity of the laser beam applied to form layers by laser lamination modeling is adjusted so that the carbide eutectics that precipitate in at least the outermost metal layer 1d have a controlled size of 10 μm or less.
Abstract:
Provided is a butterfly valve configured so that the sealing performance of the butterfly valve is ensured even if the butterfly valve is exposed to high-temperature fluid and is installed in a high radiation environment. A butterfly valve has: a valve body-side valve seat section which is formed on the outer periphery of a valve body; a valve box-side valve seat section which is formed on a valve box; and a valve movement mechanism which, as a valve shaft pivots, moves the valve body in the direction of extension of a flow passage, between a blocking position at which the valve body-side valve seat section and the valve box-side valve seat section are in contact with each other to close a flow passage, and an open position at which the valve body-side valve seat section and the valve box-side valve seat section are separated from each other to open the flow passage. The valve body-side valve seat section is formed from a laminated material comprising a stainless steel plate and a plate-shaped body which consists of expanded graphite.
