摘要：
This paper discusses the techniques and welding equipment utilized to accomplish the approximately 36,000 linear inches of weld required to join 138 separate major pieces of 2219 aluminum that make up external tank pressure vessel. The gas tungsten arc process and hard tooling for parts alignment is used.
