Precious Metal BAg-13a vs Incusil-10 (Ag-Cu-In-Ti)
Precious Metal · grade comparison
Precious Metal BAg-13a and Incusil-10 (Ag-Cu-In-Ti) are both precious metal grades. BAg-13a is the stronger of the two: tensile strength 420 MPa (60.9 ksi) against 330 MPa (47.9 ksi) for Incusil-10 (Ag-Cu-In-Ti), about 27% more. BAg-13a is harder — 105 HV against 95 HV for Incusil-10 (Ag-Cu-In-Ti) — which matters for wear surfaces and threads. BAg-13a is stiffer (95 GPa vs 76 GPa) and BAg-13a conducts heat better (120 W/m·K vs 70 W/m·K). On the shop floor, BAg-13a machines more easily (good vs fair).

BAg-13a vs Incusil-10 (Ag-Cu-In-Ti): propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all precious metal grades in the FabDigit library; each bar is drawn as a share of that.
- The better value (by the usual engineering direction) is in bold. Rows with no direction — density, thermal conductivity — have no bold.
- Values are typical room-temperature figures for the condition named on each card.
- Confirm against the certified mill or resin datasheet before design release.

BAg-13a vs Incusil-10 (Ag-Cu-In-Ti) — frequently asked
Is BAg-13a stronger than Incusil-10 (Ag-Cu-In-Ti)?
Yes. BAg-13a has a typical tensile strength of 420 MPa (60.9 ksi) against 330 MPa (47.9 ksi) for Incusil-10 (Ag-Cu-In-Ti) — about 27% more.
Which is cheaper, BAg-13a or Incusil-10 (Ag-Cu-In-Ti)?
Both sit in the same relative cost tier ($$$$, high); the part price will be decided by machining time, tolerance and quantity rather than by the material.
Which is easier to machine, BAg-13a or Incusil-10 (Ag-Cu-In-Ti)?
BAg-13a. Its machinability rates good (55/100) against fair (35/100) for Incusil-10 (Ag-Cu-In-Ti); for welding the order is BAg-13a first (poor, 20/100) then Incusil-10 (Ag-Cu-In-Ti) (poor, 15/100).
