Abstract:

The numerical simulation and welding experiment were adopted to investigate the welding deformation of ITER poloidal field coil supports, and the comparison of the simulation and the actual measurement was made to verify the validity of simulation. The basic law of welding seam deformation on the U-shaped flexible clamps was obtained and the existing clamps type was improved. Furthermore, based on the verified heat and mechanical boundary condition and the optimization clamp, the calculations of welding deformations of U-shaped flexible clamps in three different welding plans were carried out and an optimized plan for the poloidal field coil supports fabricating was proposed. The optimal welding deformation is controlled within 0.6mm.
