ITER Organization promotes the advancement of the Vacuum Vessel productive activities at Walter Tosto<\/strong><\/p>\n Walter Tosto SpA, as part of the European consortium AMW (Ansaldo SpA – Mangiarotti SpA – Walter Tosto SpA) was designated \u00a0for the production of seven of the nine sectors of the ITER Vacuum Vessel.<\/p>\n After the design and qualification of special processes phases, activities related on the manufacture of the first sector, including hot forming, were started up.<\/p>\n In order to celebrate the progress and the success of these processes, the ITER communication department has published a video shot by Patrick Vertongen, ITER Quality Manager, on its web channels, during the supervision of the current activities at WT plant of Chieti.<\/p>\n In particular, the video shows the forming of a stainless steel sheet, pressed into the required shape through an open die hot forming process.<\/p>\n Hot forming and the subsequent heat treatment of stainless steel are part of \u00a0the special processes qualified by Walter Tosto, that constitute a valuable background necessary for the development of critical components such as the vacuum vessel for ITER.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/i>Watch the video:<\/a><\/p>\n
