Used in space missions, quantum computing, and everywhere in-between, bonded bimetals are ideal as transitions between two metals that cannot be traditionally welded, and to limit the use of expensive metals to specific critical areas. The molecular-level bonds are reliable and long lasting, offer heat and corrosion resistant transitions, and the flexibility of contrasting metal properties in a single machined component. 

Examples include niobium-stainless transitions in rocket thruster heads, copper-stainless water jackets in cryogenic applications, and titanium-aluminum crosses in satellite-operated gravimeters. 

Bimetal components also join aluminum and titanium vacuum chambers to larger systems used for critical research and testing. These chambers are ultra-pure, non-magnetic, and lightweight.
