New weld inspection system to boost rail safety in Europe
Engineering and Technology Magazine
An ultrasonic device that tests the strength of rail track welds could "radically improve safety standards" on Europe's railways.

Orbital welding on the Large Hadron Collider a challenge
CERN
 The interconnection regions between adjacent cryomagnets of the Large Hadron Collider consist of a number of lines spanning from one machine element to another, and each line requires several welds. With a radial clearance of only 45 millimeters, a machine called an automatic orbital welder closes three main busbars — lines whose main purpose is to conduct electricity. The machine makes two automatic welds to create a leak-tight assembly.
