Abstract:The performance of a hydraulically expanded joint between tubesheet and titanium tube was analyzed using a finite element numerical calculation. The connection strength of Q345R tubesheet and TA2-Q345R clad tubesheet was studied using a tight expansion method. The results proved that the residual contact pressure and pullout force of the tight expansion joint of TA2-Q345R clad tubesheet were greater than those of the Q345R tubesheet. However, the residual contact pressure of the expanded joint without a groove… Show more
