AWS BNi-9 (N99612) Filler Metal

AWS BNi-9 is a nickel-based filler metal for brazing. Cited properties are appropriate for the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. BNi-9 is the AWS designation for this material. N99612 is the UNS number.

It has a moderately high tensile strength among nickel-based brazing fillers. In addition, it has a moderately high melting temperature and a moderately high density.

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare AWS BNi-9 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.
