          Application No. 08/939,762                                                  

                                       APPENDIX                                       
               1.   A method for brazing beryllium-aluminum alloy members to          
          form a beryllium-aluminum alloy assembly wherein the beryllium of           
          at least one of said beryllium-aluminum alloy members being at              
          least 45% by volume, said method comprising the steps of:                   
               (A) placing said beryllium-aluminum alloy members to                   
          form said beryllium-aluminum alloy assembly;                                
               (B) disposing a braze alloy at a location to form a                    
          braze joint between said beryllium-aluminum alloy members;                  
               (C) applying a brazing flux to said braze alloy at said                
          location to form said braze joint, said brazing flux comprising:            
                    (a) aluminum fluoride, and                                        
                    (b) lithium fluoride; and                                         
               (D) heating said beryllium-aluminum alloy members and                  
          said braze alloy to form said beryllium-aluminum alloy                      
          assembly.
