This fabrication method involves many manufacturing steps which result in increased cost, long procurement time and lower manufacturing reliability. A new design approach was recently proposed which simplifies fabrication by eliminating brazing and utilizes a readily available copper alloy, CuCrZr. This paper describes the manufacturing experience gained at NSLS-II from fabricating many components of this new design. Results of an investigation of various techniques for joining CuCrZr to itself and to SS304 and AL-6061 are also presented.
