The SB#08 FSP were manufactured by using conventional manufacturing processes such as cutting, milling, drilling and welding.
Especially, a strong back system was adopted in order to prevent welding deformation during cover plate welding process.
Post-Welding Heat Treatment (PWHT) for stress relieving and Hot He Leak Test (HHLT) were waived from the lake of huge test facility in the pre-qualification program.
The PWHT combined with the HHLT, however, were implemented to remove the residual stress and to confirm the soundness of welded parts as an internal R&D activities after the pre-qualification program.
Three dimensional inspection also carried out after the PWHT to check the dimensional stabilization.
