Question
we want to joint two materials :stainless steel
(such as steel 304 or 316) to titanium (ti-6al-4v); or parts are tiny; stregnth of welding are important ;and also no leakage between two parts is so important for us.
1)what is your suggestion for joining of these materials ?
2)by electron beam welding machine, can we do this process or not?

Answer
The best suggestion I can come up with is solder.

This is a supplier of Titanium solder as used for eyeglass frames
