Electron-beam braze welding of beryllium

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6428491· OSTI ID:6428491

Electron-beam braze welds were made in beryllium by using less than the recommended amount of aluminum filler metal. The welds exhibited a tendency to form microcracks prior to the termination of solidification; however, these microcracks were healed by the backfilling action of the aluminum/beryllium eutectic present in the fusion zone. Adverse effects attributable to the prior microcracking condition were not found.
