Aluminum alloy brazing sheet and method for producing the same

摘要

Disclosed is an aluminum alloy brazing sheet for heat exchanger which excels in resistance to corrosion from its inside and simultaneously attains satisfactory erosion resistance and high strength. This includes a core material of an Al alloy containing predetermined amounts of Si, Mn, Cu, Mg, and Ti; a clad material of an Al alloy containing predetermined amounts of Si, Mn, and Zn, having a predetermined thickness, and lying on one side of the core material so as to constitute an inner side of a tube member of the heat exchanger; and a filler material of an Al alloy containing a predetermined amount of Si, having a predetermined thickness, and lying on the other side of the core material so as to constitute an outer side of the tube member. The crystal grain size of the core material after brazing under specific conditions is 50 μm or more but less than 300 μm in a rolling direction.

主权项

1. An aluminum alloy brazing sheet comprising:
a core material comprising Si in a content of 0.5 to 1.1 percent by mass, Mn in a content of 0.6 to 2.0 percent by mass, Cu in a content of 0.5 to 1.1 percent by mass, Mg in a content of 0.05 to 0.45 percent by mass, and Ti in a content of 0.05 to 0.25 percent by mass, with the remainder including aluminum and inevitable impurities; a clad material lying on one side of and in direct contact with the core material, having a thickness of from 25 to 50 μm, and comprising Si in a content of more than 0.5 percent by mass but 1.1 percent by mass or less, Mn in a content of 0.01 to 0.95 percent by mass, and Zn in a content of 3.0 to 6.0 percent by mass, with the remainder including aluminum and inevitable impurities; and a filler material lying on the other side of and in direct contact with the core material, having a thickness of from 36 to 55 μm, and comprising Si in a content of 7.0 to 12 percent by mass, with the remainder including aluminum and inevitable impurities, wherein the core material has a grain size of 50 μm or more but less than 300 μm in a rolling direction after the aluminum alloy brazing sheet is subjected to a heat treatment at a temperature of 380° C. or higher for 20 minutes, which includes brazing at a temperature of 595° C. for 3 minutes, and wherein the aluminum alloy brazing sheet has a tensile strength after the brazing at 595° C. for 3 minutes of at least 170 MPa.
