The high-pressure heaters are the fundamentally necessary links of the second circuit power units of nuclear power plants with light water VVER-type reactors. They represent one-plane or two-plane piped spirals of carbon steel. The paper presents the results of selection and mastering the mechanized welding technology for applying high-pressure heaters in the manufacture and renovation repair. 20 Ref., 2 Fig.
 
Keywords: high-pressure heaters, spirals of high-pressure heaters, automatic welding, consumable electrode, electrode wire, mixture of shielding gases, technological equipment, rotary joints of pipelines, welding rotator
