The final M weld for the LHC splice consolidation work was performed on Wednesday. The process is explained in images.

1. A view of the connections between two LHC dipoles – powerful superconducting magnets that steer particle beams around the accelerator. The large pipe towards the bottom of the image – the M connection that carries the busbars and helium – requires a final orbital weld to seal it up. (Image: Maximilen Brice/CERN)

4. The orbital weld begins. This is a highly skilled process that takes many months of practice to perfect. (Image: Maximilen Brice/CERN)

5. The weld follows the orbit of the joint, melting the materials on either side to form a solid seal. No filler metal is introduced during the weld due to the small radial clearance of the pipes. (Image: Maximilen Brice/CERN)

7. A visual inspection of the joint is made using a videoscope. The video of each weld inspection is recorded and stored. (Image: Maximilien Brice/CERN)

8. The new weld is tested for helium-leak tightness by Christophe Jarrige – it passes quality control tests with flying colours. (Image: Maximilen Brice/CERN)
