Welding in LIGO
• Examples– LIGO I has history of welding
stainless and Alum• e.g. LOS structure
– HAM-SAS • aluminum (5083) welding practice
& experience: LIGO-T060109– ALIGO UK (RAL)
• Why?– To meet LIGO Vacuum
requirements• e.g. trapped contaminants could
leak out!– Stiffness Not strength!

Why not use bolted structures?• Yes in principle could
use bolted structures to achieve stiffness, but– History of problems!– Access– Ease of assembly– Bolts
• Galling + Debris– Ref LIGO-T040111

OMC Suspension eLIGO & AdLIGO
• Why Alum?– Design history, had
existing design from Quad structure
– Mass Budget– Easy to mount non-
suspended components during “metal” assembly
However wanted to better understand welds!

Welds & Welding
• Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding – manual welding process – Tungsten electrode, – inert gas and a separate filler material high quality welds but it requires
significant operator skill!

X Rays
• X Ray tests of butt welds carried out with local contractors– Base & leg– Gusset
• Each weldment radiographed using two different exposures to ensure optimal inspectability

Welding terms in the X-ray Inspection Report
• Porosity– Formed by gas
entrapment during solidification
LIGO seeks low porosity!
• Crack– Fracture type
discontinuity

Welding terms in the X-ray Inspection Report
• Non-Fusion (NF)– a weld discontinuity
in which fusion did not occur between weld metal and fusion faces or adjoining weld beads
![Page 20: Calum I. Torrie on behalf of ALIGO US Suspension teams](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032612/56813145550346895d97c2d7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

OMC Test Results
• On the OMC structure, only 3 welds were found to be acceptable per MIL-STD-2219 Class A
• Most of the OMC weldments would not meet Class B because of very large porosity and / or excessive closely spaced porosity.
• 20 of the 56 OMC weldments would not meet the requirements for Class C because of their lack of fusion.
![Page 21: Calum I. Torrie on behalf of ALIGO US Suspension teams](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032612/56813145550346895d97c2d7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
24-Oct-07 G070656-00 21
X Rays
• Met to discuss X Rays– “How many of the 20 welds that show no
fusion are buried inside and how many are through to the surface?”
Inconclusive!Maybe this is good news!
So came up with a 3 point plan!
Add image from Bob
Still waiting for results on samples!

Proposed Dye Penetrant Test
• Section of material with a surface-breaking crack that visible to the naked eye
• Penetrant applied to the surface• Excess penetrant removed• Developer applied, rendering the
crack visible
• LIGO Compatible test wrt ability to make structure clean afterwards? Dye Pen
Water soluble Developer
Non-aqueous wet developer Isopropyl Alcohol

Conclusions / Outcome
• Idea is that all of this work will lead to ability to better classify welds for Advanced LIGO e.g. class C low porosity no cracks!
• To achieve this probably also consider additional weld samples e.g.– To match new OMC design– RAL design see picture &
previous talk– RM design
