Abstract
*† ‡ § The laser welded channel wall technology is the outcome of a project with the objective to develop a cooled wall structure that meets commercial requirements 1,2,3,6 . The technology defined encompasses short development and production lead time and low production cost, which is achieved by using robust standard processes and commercially available raw material. The core process development, T-joint & seam tracker, has been performed in close collaboration with FORCE Technology, a Danish company with a high profile on welding, sensors and Non-Destructive-Testing (NDT). During the process development phase the tooling such as weld head, seam-tracker etc has been built in a modular fashion to allow for changes in the set-up as the development progresses. With the experience gained, both in manufacturing and testing, a new program has been formulated in order to further industrialize the processes, i.e. to comply with the quality assurance of a serial production. This also implies a strong development on NDT procedures to allow for automated inspection and digital storage of the results for traceability. There will also be additional process development, in line with the industrialization of the Sandwich Nozzle Technology.
