Vacuum Vessel Sector Fabrication - PossibilitiesVacuum Vessel Sector Fabrication Based on FH Blocks

Manufacturing of the ITER vacuum vessel double wall structure isextremely demanding

Quality-, shape- and dimensional requirements are set to the highest level to meet the specified functional requirements

Welding distortionsResidual stresses

Advanced fabrication methods are needed to ensure the overall quality during the manufacturing process

Reducing weldingIncreasing weld efficiency
