Nuclear Power Head Plate Forging for Reactor Pressure Vessels

The nuclear power head plate forging is a vital structural component located at the top of the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV). It plays a critical role in ensuring the operational safety of nuclear reactors by:

Sealing the reactor vessel to contain high-pressure coolant (typically 15–16 MPa)

Isolating radioactive material

Withstanding long-term high-temperature conditions (300–350°C)

Description

Product Description

The nuclear electricity head plate forging is a critical structural aspect placed at the pinnacle of the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV). It performs a indispensable function in making sure the operational protection of nuclear reactors by:

Sealing the reactor vessel to comprise high-pressure coolant (typically 15–16 MPa)

Isolating radioactive material

Withstanding long-term high-temperature prerequisites (300–350°C)

Due to its safety-critical nature, the fine of the forging technique at once impacts the integrity, longevity, and security of the nuclear reactor. The layout carrier existence of this aspect exceeds 60 years, assembly the stringent necessities of each home and global nuclear regulatory standards.
