The compressor cylinder is the pressure-bearing heart of a reciprocating compressor. It contains the compression chamber, guides the piston, and seals against high-pressure gas through every cycle. As the piston rings slide against the cylinder bore, wear is inevitable.

The structural section describes the main load-bearing components. The welding process section addresses procedure qualification requirements, thermal cycle management, and post-weld heat treatment, as well as deformation control through symmetric welding sequences and counter-deformation tooling. The parameter matrices offer reference values for butt and T-joints across varying thicknesses, and a carbon equivalent based preheating quick reference table. Quality inspection encompasses 100% visual inspection, Non-Destructive Testing, mechanical property tests on product test plates, dimensional checks for camber and flatness, and coating inspection for corrosion protection. The paper systematically consolidates the technical framework for car dumper steel structure welding, serving as a reference for industry practitioners.
