Times Cited Count：12 Percentile：66.82(Nuclear Science & Technology)The real vacuum vessel (VV) manufacturing of JT-60SA has started since Nov. 2009 at Toshiba. Prior to starting manufacturing, fundamental welding R&Ds had been performed by three stages. In the first stage, primary tests for screening welding method were performed. In the second stage, the trial welding for 1m-long straight and curved double shell samples were conducted. The dependences of welding quality and distortion on the welding conditions, such as arc voltage and current, setting accuracy, welding sequence, the shape of grooves, etc. were measured. In addition, welding condition with low heat input was explored. In the last stage, fabrication sequence was confirmed and established by the trial manufacturing of the 20
upper half mock-up. This poster presents the R&D results obtained in the first and second stages.

The toroidal field coil is manufactured as one of superconducting coil systems in the ITER. For welding the cover plate of TF coil, the prevention of the thermal effect on the coil and the deformation of the whole coil are required. Moreover, the application of high efficient welding is required in consideration for the productivity. Therefore, laser-arc hybrid welding process was investigated for the application to the cover plate welding, because its process is superior in the tolerance of the joint gap and the ease of the control for the heat input. In the experiment, it was confirmed that the application of laser-arc hybrid welding with the double gas shielding for high concentration arc and the filler wire for controlling the deposit amount is effective in the joint gap up to 0.8mm. Besides, twin spot laser head with the arc was developed in order to weld the both sides of cover plate simultaneously. By the optimization of welding condition for twin spot laser-arc hybrid welding process, it was confirmed to be effective in the prevention of the gap movement during welding and the acquisition of the proper penetration without the weld defect. Finally, the effectiveness of laser-arc hybrid welding for the welding deformation and the weldability on the quality was verified by the scale model test with the actual shape.

The toroidal field coil is manufactured as one of superconducting coil systems in the ITER. For welding the radial plate of TF coil, the prevention of the welding deformation and the high quality of the joints among the radial plates are required. Moreover, the application of high efficient welding is required in consideration for the productivity. Therefore, 10kW high power laser welding process was investigated for the application to the radial plate welding, because its process is superior in the productivity for the joints and the ease of the control for the heat input. In the experiment, it was confirmed that the application of the high power laser welding with the 6 axes industrial robots is effective in the welding deformation less than approximately 0.5mm for the small model. Finally, the effectiveness of the laser welding for the welding deformation and the weldability on the quality was verified by the real scale test with the actual shape.

JT-60SA Vacuum Vessel (VV) has D-shaped cross section and double-walled structure. It consists of the inner and outer wall reinforced by poloidal ribs and is made of SUS316L (Co
0.05wt%). The welding outer wall on rib (so called continuous plug) is performed from the outside of double-wall. Since it is difficult to confirm the penetration bead from the inside of double-wall, an incomplete penetration is assumed to be included in this welded joint. In this study, the fatigue test of continuous plug welded joint with an artificial incomplete penetration was performed to investigate the effect of the incomplete penetration on fatigue behavior and fatigue strength.
