The Toroidal Field (TF) coil case of the HT-7U superconducting tokamak device is made of austenitic stainless steel 316LN and is designed to operate at cryogenic temperature (4 K). 316LN can retain high strength and fracture toughness at 4 K. Feasibility study on technical process of welding has been experimentally considered as a hopeful joint method for suppression of post-welding deformation and reduction of over-heating. Meanwhile the final range of stress intensity and the stress intensity factor (K) for pre-cracks of welding structure have been determined by using J-integral. These related results are optimistic and have shown that there’s no problem in strength and fracture toughness at the vicinity of the pre-crack tip. This paper introduces the welding structure of TF coil case in detail.
