METHOD FOR MACHINING AUSTENITE STAINLESS STEEL EQUIPMENT AND PIPING, AND NUCLEAR POWER PLANT EQUIPMENT AND PIPING MACHINED BY MEANS OF SAID METHOD

摘要

A machining method for austenite stainless steel equipment and piping, and nuclear power plant equipment and piping machined by use of this method are provided to suppress occurrence of a hardened layer due to machining, and capable of suppressing occurrence of SCC without performing an after treatment and reducing working hours and cost. The machining method for austenite stainless steel equipment and piping according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a finishing treatment process for performing a machining operation by use of a throw-away tip (5) whose rake angle is +29° or more to suppress work hardening of a surface.
