Update on SS to Tantalum weld

[NX687]

Found a paper that said this weld area has such low tensile

that a test piece cannot be machined into a tensile test piece

But we have it sealing at 1000c and Ultra high vacuum , just so long as you do not flex the welded area,, or it will crack

Can use an explosive weld joint?
Considering that the SS will have strength of a few 100psi at that temp you are going to have to very careful that you don't stress the joint anyway.
