![weldingdissimilarmetals-cover](https://info.ebindustries.com/hs-fs/hubfs/weldingdissimilarmetals-cover.jpg?width=250&height=325&name=weldingdissimilarmetals-cover.jpg)Developing components that require strength, lightweight construction, corrosion resistance and high thermal conductivity often necessitates use of dissimilar metals. Properly joining dissimilar metals with high-quality welds is critical for achieving high-reliability products in the automotive, aerospace, medical device, and semiconductor industries.

Learn how you can use electron beam welding or laser welding to make high-quality joints of dissimilar metals and avoid these problems:  

- Residual stress and distortion resulting from two metals materials having different expansion coefficients and melting points 
- Embrittlement and porosity due to metals that are highly reactive and absorb gas at welding temperatures
- Compromised joint strength resulting from formation of brittle intermetallic compounds at the weld interface 
- Uneven stress distribution leading to failure under load from metals with differing strength, hardness and ductility.

Download our white paper, *Welding Dissimilar Metals: Overcoming Challenges with Advance Electron Beam and Laser Techniques*, to learn how electron beam and laser welding successfully join two materials with differing thermal properties and structures while preventing weld contamination for your most critical high-reliability products.
