Continuous tempering effect induced PWHT alternative technology using wire arc additive manufacturing for application in replacing nuclear pressurized water reactor system repairing: CALPHAD, FEM simulation, and EBSD investigation

This study proposes an effective repair technology using arc additive manufacturing for pressurized water reactors (PWRs) in nuclear power plants (NPP) aimed at avoiding complete replacements and post-weld-heat treatments (PWHTs) of component parts while ensuring safety and reliability. Effective re...
