Design and manufacture of an ultrasonic inspection device for the friction welds in reactor vessel control rod drive mechanism housings
Description
The control rod drive mechanism housings of a PWR reactor vessel consist of a stainless steel flange and a Ni-Cr-Fe alloy tube, assembled by friction welding. The properties of the interface and the nature of the adjacent materials require the development of a specific ultrasonic inspection technique which could be easily automated, considering the number of parts involved. This paper deals with the development and industrialization of an ultrasonic inspection technique and automated equipment, intended for the examination of the friction welds in reactor vessel control rod drive mechanism housings
