Abstract

PURPOSE:To obviate the interruption of heat transfer and to prevent the generation of a pressure drop by a decrease in the sectional area of the flow passage in a heat- transfer pipe by inserting repair head together with a power source cable and a gas supply line into the damaged grain boundary part of the heat-transfer tube of a steam generator. CONSTITUTION:The repair head H1 inserted into the heat-transfer tube 6 of the steam generator (SG) where the damage of the grain boundary is generated consists of a tungsten torch 1, rings 2a, 2b for positioning, a vent recessed part 3, a power feed rod 4, an insulating cylinder 5, the power source cable 7, and the gas (He or Ar) supply line 8. After the damage position is fixed by an inspection probe of an eddy current flaw test, the repair head H1 is set to the damaged drain boundary part of the heat-transfer tube 6 of the SG and the damage part is welded by a tungsten inert gas welding method; thereafter, the heat treatment to relieve residual stress is executed to complete the melt repair work. The interruption of the heat transfer is obviated and the generation of the pressure drop by the decrease in the sectional area of the flow passage in the heat-transfer pipe is prevented.
