How does the habitat attach onto the area to be welded?
The habitat can be attached by any of a number of methods. On a flat surface it is usually attached with magnets or suction. On pipes and complex shapes it may be attached with studs that are welded to the parent material or it can be secured with metal straps. Alternatively if the habitat fully encloses the pipe it will typically be fabricated in sections that bolt together around the pipe.
