Abstract: The support welding block assembly is the key force component in the HL-3 vacuum chamber to connect adjacent sector segments and bear the support. According to the unique structure of hyperboloid and square window assembly, the key points of welding quality and deformation control, machining of hyperboloid and ultra-high vacuum step sealing surface, and welding of supporting welding block assembly with vacuum chamber are analyzed. By designing and manufacturing process equipment, processing three-dimensional curved groove of support block, taking post-welding processing, monitoring deformation during processing and timely adjusting the inner and outer processing processes and other construction process methods and process parameters,the problems of large-thickness welding technology and welding deformation control of the support welding block assembly, the machining technology of the support welding block assembly and the high quality requirement of the ultra-high vacuum step sealing surface, and the technical problems of the support welding block assembly and the vacuum chamber are overcome. Now the HL-3 plasma discharges have been successfully realized, and the related machining and welding technology has been verified.
