Effect of Welding Sequence and the Transverse Geometry of the Weld Overlay on the Distribution of Residual Stress in the Weld Overlay Repair of T23 Tubes
Water-wall tubes are important components in power plants and are used to absorb the heat from the boilers, and they often fail prematurely due to corrosion, erosion, and fatigue during service.To repair the defects, weld overlay repair is often adopted by forming a compressive stress area around the susceptible area to prevent the cracks from prop
