BNi-2 nickel-based brazing filler metal
Features:
BNi-2 is one of the most widely used nickel-based brazing alloys, characterized by a low melting temperature and excellent wettability and fluidity. During brazing, the base metal grains do not grow, thereby minimizing the risk of degraded component performance.
Application:
Aerospace: Jet engine components, combustion chambers, and heat exchangers heavily rely on robust high-temperature joints. BNi-2 brazing performs excellently in these applications.
Automotive: Exhaust manifolds, turbochargers, and other high-heat components benefit from the strength and heat resistance provided by BNi-2 joints.
Medical devices: Components requiring biocompatibility and strength, such as orthopedic implants or dental prosthetics, can be effectively joined using BNi-2 brazing.
Power generation: Gas turbines and other high-temperature power generation equipment rely on reliable joints. BNi-2 brazing can provide the necessary strength and performance.

Regarding BNi-2 nickel-based brazing powder
BNi‑2 (corresponding to the domestic grade BNi82CrSiBFe, AWS A5.8 BNi‑2, and ISO 17672 Ni620) is one of the most widely used nickel‑based brazing alloys. It features a low melting temperature, excellent wettability and fluidity, and does not promote grain growth in the base metal during brazing, thereby minimizing degradation of component performance. Joints produced with this alloy exhibit superior high‑temperature strength, oxidation resistance, and corrosion resistance, making it the material of choice for brazing martensitic stainless steels, austenitic stainless steels, and precipitation‑hardening superalloys. It finds extensive applications in aerospace, mechanical manufacturing, chemical processing, and diamond‑tool industries. The product is available in various forms, including brazing powders, pastes, and foils, with particle sizes customizable to meet customers’ equipment and process requirements.

View DetailsThe carbon and boron in BNi-1 brazing filler metal can diffuse into the base material during the brazing process, thereby increasing the remelting temperature of the brazed joint. This filler metal has a high chromium content, so the brazed joint exhibits good high-temperature performance and is suitable for components subjected to high stress at elevated temperatures.
View DetailsBNi-5 brazing filler metal does not contain boron, significantly reducing its effect compared to the base material. It is suitable for brazing thin parts. This filler metal has a high melting temperature and brazing temperature. Due to its high chromium content, the joint's high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance are comparable to BNi-1.
