    摘要: A method of maintaining the housing of a reactor pressure vessel having: a reactor pressure vessel into which cooling water is introduced; a cylindrical housing which penetrates an end bracket of the reactor pressure vessel; and a circumferential weld for securing the intermediate portion of the housing to the reactor pressure vessel by welding, the method of maintaining a housing of a reactor pressure vessel comprising the steps of: remaining the cooling water in the reactor pressure vessel; preventing leakage of the cooling water in the reactor pressure vessel through the housing by sealing the housing; making the inside portion of the housing lower than the seal to be a hollow space of a gas atmosphere; heating a heat affected zone due to welding by using a heating device inserted into the hollow space from a lower portion so as to compressive-yield the inner surface of the housing in the heat affected portion upper than the circumferential weld and tensile-yield the outer surface; and cooling heated portion inside of the housing, which has been yielded, so as to tensile-yield the inner surface of the housing by using a cooling device inserted into the housing from a lower portion, whereby compressive stress is allowed to remain in the tensile-yielded portion.

    摘要: A water jet peening method in which a pressurized water jet flow containing cavities is jetted through a nozzle having a velocity increasing orifice portion and a horn-like jetting hole formed continuously with the velocity increasing orifice portion to impinge against a surface of a metallic material immersed in water and to cause the cavities to collapse at the surface of the metallic member, and a tensile plastic deformation is caused in a surface layer of the metallic material by a local high pressure generated by the impingement and the collapse so that a residual tensile stress in the surface of the metallic member is reduced. In this method, the nozzle is vibrated so that vibration-induced cavities are formed in the vicinity of a nozzle wall surface, and the vibration-induced cavities are caused to impinge against the surface of the metallic member by the pressurized water jet flow containing cavities. It is thereby possible to promote the generation of cavities even in a case where pure water existing in a nuclear reactor and scant of nuclei from which cavities will be generated is used in peening of an internal structual member of the reactor.

    摘要: An ICM housing welded to a wall of a reactor pressure vessel in operation is provided with a molten metal layer containing 4 wt. % or more .delta. ferrite at a portion of an inner peripheral surface thereof which corresponds to a weld. A sleeve made of stainless steel is located at the competent portion of the inner peripheral surface of the ICM housing stainless steel so as to be molten by means of a TIG welding machine to form the molten metal layer. The molten metal layer prevents stress corrosion cracking of the ICM housing.

    摘要: A method for improving a property of a weld of an austenitic stainless steel which is a part of a structure being brought into contact with a corrosive fluid at a region having been affected by welding heat on both of opposed surfaces, comprising the steps of: cooling said thermally affected region on one of said opposed surfaces; and simultaneously with said cooling step, applying a melting treatment to the other surface, thereby changing the melting treatment portion into a micro structure that contains delta (.delta.) ferrite and is superior in corrosion resistance property. The latter surface is improved in high tensile stress generated by the welding work. Namely, its stress is reduced. The melting heat for said melting treatment is obtained by application of high density energy.
