Abstract
Additional heating of a thickened portion of the steam generator connector during postrepair thermal treatment of the header-connector weldment leads to a decrease in residual tensile stress levels. It is shown that during hydrostatic tests performed after thermal treatment inelastic strains on the inner connector surface are reduced, which inhances the cycle life of the weldment
