AWS BAu-1 (P00375) Filler Metal

AWS BAu-1 is a gold-based filler metal for brazing. Cited properties are appropriate for the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. BAu-1 is the AWS designation for this material. P00375 is the UNS number.

It has a moderately low density among gold-based braze fillers. In addition, it has a fairly high heat capacity and a moderately high tensile strength.

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare AWS BAu-1 to: gold-based braze fillers (top), all alloys in the same category (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
