Use of nuclear forgings

Nuclear power forging refers to the parts or components used in nuclear equipment and auxiliary equipment in nuclear power plants, and its main uses include the following aspects:

Reactor pressure vessels: Nuclear power forgings are widely used in the manufacture of reactor pressure vessels for nuclear power plants. The reactor pressure vessel is the core component of the nuclear reactor in a nuclear power plant, which carries the fission products of nuclear fuel with high temperature, high pressure and high radiation released by the nuclear fission process, ensuring the safe operation of the reactor. As a key component of the reactor pressure vessel, nuclear power forgings need to have high strength, high sealing and corrosion resistance to ensure the sealing and safety of the reactor.

Casings and bushings: Nuclear power forgings can also be used to make components such as casings and bushings in nuclear power plants. The shell is often used in the shell structure of nuclear equipment and auxiliary equipment, and has the role of protection, isolation and support; The bushing is usually used in the inner layer of nuclear equipment to protect and isolate nuclear equipment and media. Nuclear power forgings need to meet the requirements of high strength, high corrosion resistance and stability in the manufacture of shells and bushings to ensure the integrity of equipment and the reliability of long-term operation.

Thermal conductivity structure: Nuclear power forgings can also be used to manufacture thermal conductivity structure in nuclear power plants, such as thermal conductivity plates, thermal conductivity tubes, etc. Thermal structures are used to conduct, absorb and disperse the heat generated by nuclear equipment and auxiliary equipment to maintain the normal operating temperature and thermal balance of the equipment. Nuclear power forgings need to have good thermal conductivity, thermal strength and impact resistance in the manufacture of thermal structure parts to ensure the thermal management of the system and system safety.

In short, nuclear power forgings play an important role in nuclear power plants, which are used to manufacture key components of nuclear equipment and auxiliary equipment, including reactor pressure vessels, shells and bushings, and thermal conductivity structures. These forgings need to have the characteristics of high strength, high sealing, corrosion resistance and stability to ensure the safe operation of nuclear power plants and long-term stable power generation.
