Yes, Brad does this work on Damascus guns, as does Dale Edmonds ( through another gunsmith). I have previously posted pictures of welded splits in Damascus and twist barrels and filled pits. Some of the welded seams were quite old, indicating this repair technique has been going on for a long time. and holding since then.

Some people believe that only fluid steel barrels can be repaired by welding pits and implying that if Damascus the pits or even splits could not be welded. That is not the case from what I have seen.
