Abstract

The casing is welded together from a number of inner wall plates and outer wall plates. Near the abutting plates, an arcuate member in the form of a shell or a tube is welded in, in order to form the edges of the walls. The arcuate members cooperate with the plates to form closed box girders. The welded construction has greatly reduced internal stresses.
