AWS BNi-1 (N99600) Filler Metal

AWS BNi-1 is a nickel-based filler metal for brazing. Cited properties are appropriate for the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. BNi-1 is the AWS designation for this material. N99600 is the UNS number.

It has a moderately low embodied energy among the nickel-based brazing fillers in the database.

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare AWS BNi-1 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.
