Abstract
At the E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute the design and technology have been developed for manufacture of combined high-pressure cylinders with a mass-dimensional factor M/V ≤ 0.65 kg/l for use in motor-vehicle transport. The cylinder consists of a pressurized body and a strengthening composite sheath. To manufacture the cylinder body, welded of thin-sheet steel, a specialized assembly-welding equipment and technology of precision welding, subsequent inspection and heat treatment of welded joints were developed. Production lines of up to 20,000 and 100,000 cylinders per year with their safety factor above 2.6 were created.
