Abstract

See full text

A tool system features an EDM crack removal head which can be positioned within a nozzle/thermal sleeve and then oscillated in a vertical and horizontal directions to enable precise material removal, leaving the surface free of cracks and in a condition for rewelding if required. If a crack is found in a surface which is covered by a thermal sleeve, then a small specialized EDM cutting head, which can be delivered from the under side of the reactor head and has an ability to pass through the ID of the thermal sleeve, is used. The head enables the sleeve to be cut and allow a portion of the sleeve to be removed. The crack can then be removed using a crack removal type of head.
