Abstract
A vessel includes a body that defines an interior space. The body includes a first metal surface, a second metal surface, and a non-metallic material crimped between the first metal surface and the second metal surface at a joint. The vessel further includes a pressure relief device coupled to the body. The pressure relief device is configured to vent contents of the vessel to an exterior of the body. Upon exposure of the vessel to a temperature for a period of time, the second metal surface is configured to expand or bend to create a pressure relief route from the interior space to the pressure relief device, between the first metal surface and the second metal surface, and/or the non-metallic material is configured to melt to create the pressure relief route.
