Abstract
Current welding repair techniques within the British civil nuclear power industry utilize mainly arc-welding systems such as tungsten-inert gas and metal-inert gas. The welds produced by these systems, however, have relatively large width-to-depth ratios, large heat inputs to the metal, and corresponding thermal stresses and distortion. In addition, neither technique is particularly penetrating.
