Corrosion problems of deep well tubings and their control measures are discussed. As one of the economical solutions, metal-lined tubings·are proposed. It is shown that the metal liner can be tightly fitted by the newly developed thermo-hydraulic fit method. The selection of corrosion-resistant material for the liner is discussed. Some designs of the tubing joint and their manufacturing methods pre proposed.

In order to estimate the creep and rupture strengths of candidate alloys for the intermediate heat exchangerof VHTR, creep and stress rupture tests in impure helium were conducted on discussed in comparison with those in air and the alloys were examind from the point of view of the elevated temperature structural design.The main results obtained are summarized as follows:(1) No appreciable decrease in creep and rupture strengths in helium as compared with those in air is observed on Hastelloy X and Inconel 625. On the contrary, the creep and rupture strengths of Inconel 617 in helium decrease slightly as compared with those in air.Meanwhile, the creep and rupture strengths of Incoloy 800 in helium are remarkably lower than those in air. In the case of Incoloy 807, the creep strength to cause 1 percent total strain and that to initiate secondary creep increase remarkably in helium as compared with those in air. However, the creep strength to cause initiation of tertiary creep and the rupture strength in helium remarkably decrease as compared with those in air.(2) The order of magnitude of the S0 value for each material in helium is as follows; Hastelloy X>Inconel 617>Incoloy 807>Inconel 625>Incoloy 800Meanwhile, that of the St value in helium is; Inconel 617>Hastelloy X>Incoloy 807>Inconel 625>Incoloy 800.
