Deformation control during the welding of AP1000 main pump casing and steam generator

The welding of the AP1000 Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) casing and Steam Generator (SG) is an important issue to maintain the integrity of pressure boundary. The position tolerance of pump casing nozzles after welding will directly affect the internal components of the main pump, as well as the on-site...
