Manufacturing Challenges Implementing Material Changes for the Super Light Weight External Tank: A Welding Process Perspective
Abstract
A viewgraph presentation gives an overview of the manufacturing challenges in implementing welding material changes for the super lightweight external tank. Details are given on the external tank configuration, the weld purging equipment used, planning the selection of weld filler wire alloy, the initial weld microstructure, the wide panel tensile testing, and the dome cap welding.
