BVAu-8
AWS: BVAu-8
BAu-8 is a very ductile alloy generally used in high temperature applications due to its high oxidation resistance. It wets well to tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum and other high-temperature superalloys.
Available Forms
Strip, wire, powder, and preforms to specifications
Characteristics
Wets well to superalloys and provides high ductility due to high level of gold. BAu-8 exhibits excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance due to the stable nature of its components.
Properties
The properties of a brazed joint are dependent upon the base metal, joint design and brazing technique. For atmospheric brazing the recommended radial joint clearance for gold base alloys fall within .0015-.002” range.
