Corrosion resistant, alloy-coated charge air cooler

摘要

A heat exchanger assembly for an automotive vehicle including at least one tube (16) having a housing (28) and at least one turbulator (26) disposed inside the tube (16). The turbulator (26) has an exposed surface. A corrosion resistant, thermally conductive, nonelectrolytic metallic alloy (30) is deposited on the inner surface (34) of the housing (28) of the tube (16), and is also deposited on the exposed surface (50) of the turbulator (26).
