AWS BNi-11 (N99624) Filler Metal

AWS BNi-11 is a nickel-based filler metal for brazing. Cited properties are appropriate for the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. BNi-11 is the AWS designation for this material. N99624 is the UNS number.

It has a fairly high tensile strength among nickel-based brazing fillers. In addition, it has a fairly high embodied energy and a fairly high base cost.

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare AWS BNi-11 to: nickel-based brazing fillers (top), all nickel alloys (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.
