What process would be the industry standard reccomended to weld a 56" diameter 1/2" wall pressure vessel. Automated TIG (submerged arc?) or MIG? I do not know the material yet but it will be above 80 ksi. I would greatly appreciate any help possible, thanks.

submerged arc would be faster. we use a conventional spray method on our carbon and stainless seams. however on our aluminum line we use the auto tig, the auto can produce a pretty weld if done correctly, but it is extremely time consuming. basically its going to depend on how much time you want to take
