Want weld overlay options? It's all here.

In late January, we held our second weld overlay demonstration at FANP’s Technical Training Center in Lynchburg, Virginia. This demo focused on Westinghouse pressurizer nozzle butt weld mitigation, and 28 representatives from 8 utilities attended. Our overlay significantly improves the residual stress state near the nozzle / safe-end ID and provides a structural reinforcement with a highly PWSCC-resistant material. Plus, it allows for a geometry and surface finish for PDI qualified UT of the final configuration, ensuring cost-effective NDE for future inspections. >>Here's how

 
 
Global resources equal instant bolt solution

Fast. As in knowing where to turn. Who to rely on. How to get what you need. And when to apply it. These qualities have become hallmarks of Framatome ANP. Because we know that innovation, combined with effective listening and the globe's widest range of resources, gets real results. It was mid-November. An urgent call was received from one of our customers. "Our baffle-to-baffle bolt in the core baffle plate seems as if it's backed out." Did we mention fast? How about a solution that includes a mast-type manipulator capable of inspection, repair or replacement? Sure. We can do that. How about completing the job in just 56 hours? With just a few of our own calls and some quick, responsive action, here's how we delivered.
