Results are provided for comprehensive research conducted in PJSC VTI on large diameter pipe bends prepared by electroslag melting (ESM) of steel 15Kh1M1F-Sh intended for thermal power plant steam lines. Material from various bending zones is studied in order to evaluate the effect of bending on the quality of electroslag metal: a straight section, stretched, and compressed areas. Analysis of research results with the assessment of pipe bend operating life characteristics is conducted.
