BCu84MnNi copper–manganese–nickel high-temperature brazing filler metal
BCu84MnNi is a high‑performance copper‑based brazing alloy. By incorporating manganese (11–14%) and nickel (1.5–5.0%), the copper matrix undergoes solid‑solution strengthening, significantly enhancing the weld’s high‑temperature strength, creep resistance, and fatigue life. Its narrow melting range—solidus at 965°C and liquidus at 1000°C—ensures controllable fluidity during high‑temperature brazing, yielding dense joints free of brittle phases. The material is produced via vacuum atomization, with a standard particle size of –200 mesh (≤75 μm), offering excellent flowability. It can be directly applied as a powder for flame or induction brazing, or blended with organic binders to form a paste suitable for automated dispensing and coating of complex geometries. This alloy is widely used for high‑temperature brazing of copper–copper, copper–steel, copper–stainless steel, stainless steel–stainless steel, and dissimilar metal joints, delivering outstanding performance in demanding applications such as aerospace engine high‑temperature ducts and turbine blades, nuclear power plant heat exchangers, automotive turbochargers, and vacuum switches.
