I got a Mixet chrome aluminum shower knob handle, and it fits super tightly on the Mixet cartridge, which has a brass screw hole.

even without a screw, it doesn't wanna come off without banging it off.

will this aluminum fuse with the brass eventually?

As you're probably aware, the US west has a drought situation. That means that CA has implemented some restrictive water use requirements that are more severe than the rest of the USA. Companies selling their products in CA are supposed to abide by these requirements. That can complicate what you want to do. I'm not sure there's an easy solution to your desires. Even the shower output on many simple tub/shower valves have a restriction in them for the one on the top. On many, the only way to get a full port outlet is to use the bottom outlet designed to go to the tub spout.
