Research on Heat Treatment of Top Head Forging of a Certain Reactor Pressure Vessel Based on Simulation
In view of research and development of integrated top head forging of a certain reactor pressure vessel,computer simulation is carried out to simulate the changes of temperature field and stress field in the forging during the process of heating and quenching,as well as strain field changes in the forging during high temperature holding by different furnace charging methods. It is verified that the heat treatment process applied is able to sufficiently and evenly heat the forging,and the best furnace charging method of the forging is with opening up and five-point support.
