รายละเอียดเอกสาร

This specification covers nonmagnetic alloy steel retaining ring forgings for generators. The steel shall be made by the electro-slag-remelt (ESR) process. The electrodes shall be made by either the basic electric furnace or ladle refining processes. Sufficient discard shall be taken from each ingot to secure freedom from piping and undue segregation. Forged rings shall be solution treated following hot working and prior to the cold expansion procedure. Rings shall be rough machined prior to cold expansion or final heat treatment. Electrical properties and mechanical properties like yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation shall be determined. The rings shall be subject to the following test: tension test, Charpy V-notch impact test, metallographic test and non-destructive test. The ring shall be from cracks, seams, laps, shrinkage, and other injurious defects.
