Abstract
Results of estimation of the stress-strain state appearing in the header-steam generator connector weldment after thermal treatment used for the reduction of residual welding stresses are presented. Such treatment, including heating, holding, and cooling of a local connector area with the weld joint, is shown to give rise to rather high additional residual stresses in the weldment.
