ABSTRACT:
A vessel comprising a shell of large thickness, for example between 200 and 300 mm, consists of unit components symmetrical in revolution (2a, 2b, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 3a, 3b) and connected together by end-to-end welding. The components are made of a steel containing 2 to 2.50% of chromium, 0.9 to 1.1% of molybdenum and less than 0.15% of carbon. The welding for connecting these unit components is performed by means of an electron beam in a single pass over the entire thickness of the components, without filler metal. the invention applies particularly to the manufacture of a vessel for a pressurized-water nuclear reactor.
