Abstract
A new technique, IHSI (induction heating stress improvement), has been developed to reduce the tensile welding residual stress in the surface of steel piping for nuclear power plants, so reducing the susceptibility to stress corrosion. It is shown in this paper that the technique is effective and safe even if it is applied to piping which contains a small initial crack which is impossible to detect by ultrasonic inspection.
