| "IS IT POSSIBLE TO SEAM WELD BERYLLIUM TO BRASS AND GET A HERMETICALLY SEALED JOINT?" |
|---|
| Not likely. Most beryllium coppers (except for free machining grades) will weld fine, but here it's the brass that is the issue. All brass contains some level of zinc which does not weld well because it will vaporize creating porosity and blowouts during welding. You may be able to get some level of fusion but the quality would be so poor that it would not be expected to be mechanically or hermetically sound. |
