Bland, J; Owczarski, W A

A welding program was undertaken to determine if the necessary butt welds and weld overlays could be made successfully for the reactor components and to determine the advantages and disadvantages associated with the various welding products and processes. The evaluation program covered structural welding and weld overlays; some study was made of the effects of postweld heat treatments. The structural welding work investigated the deposit soundness and mechanical properties of the Inconel-type filler metal in 1 1/8-in. thick-butt joints. The overlap work included an evaluation of the mechanical properties and soundness of covered electrode and inert-gas-shielded arc welded overlays on carbon steel. ( W.L.H.)
