AWS BAg-28 (P07401) Filler Metal

AWS BAg-28 is a silver-based filler metal for brazing. Cited properties are appropriate for the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. BAg-28 is the AWS designation for this material. P07401 is the UNS number.

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

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare AWS BAg-28 to: silver-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.
