Abstract

PURPOSE:To constrain the evaporation of Zn and to improve the corrosion resistance at vacuum brazing time by simultaneously executing the arc thermal spraying of Zn & Al or Al-Ca alloy on the surface of an Al made extruded tubular material. CONSTITUTION:Zn & Al or Al-Ca alloy is simultaneously subjected to the thermal spraying on the surface of the extrusion tubular material for a heat exchanger of Al or Al alloy. One part of a Zn particle 5 is covered by an Al particle 6 by this thermal spraying and a Zn-Al alloy layer 7 is formed at thermal spraying time. The Zn-Al alloy layer is further grown at brazing stage, the molten temp. of the thermal spraying layer rises and the evaporation of Zn is thus constrained. In case of thermal-spraying the Al-Ca alloy simultaneously with Zn a Ca oxide is formed on the surface layer close to the thermal spraying layer at vacuum brazing time, hence it is more effective in restraining the evaporation of Zn.

Aluminum materials are prone to corrosion in the form of pitting under high temperature and high humidity conditions, but the inner surface of heat exchanger tubes is in contact with the organic medium, so corrosion does not occur, but the outer surface does. Pitting corrosion occurs when exposed to hot and humid conditions and can be a serious problem that can lead to accidents due to penetration reaching the inner surface of the pipe.

In the VB method), fins of a plating sheet doped with Zn or 3n, etc., which have a less common potential, are used for the tube material, and the fins are sacrificially corroded to protect the tube material. However, in this method, the bent portion of the tube material is far from the fins, so the sacrificial effect does not work, and it cannot be used in places with severe corrosive environments.

The Zrl diffusion layer should preferably have a maximum temperature of 708 degrees, 0.5 to 5%, and a Zn diffusion depth of 100 to 200 μm. Therefore, prior to brazing, the Zrl diffusion layer should be coated with 5 to 2097 rd of Zn, and the Zn would be coated with Zn by heating during brazing. Diffuse it on the surface of the pipe material. Various methods have been proposed for coating with Zn, such as a zincate method and a thermal spraying method.

All alloys or Al alloys with a melting temperature of 620'C or higher can be used. The reason for the arc spraying of Zn onto the surface is to provide a Zn diffusion layer on the surface of the tube material due to brazing heat. The amount of Zn deposited is preferably in the range of 3 to 30 g/m, preferably 5 to 15 g/m. Al or Al-Ca alloy, which is sprayed simultaneously with Zn, has the role of suppressing the evaporation of Zn.

This is because the Al alloy layer (7) is formed and the Zn--Al alloy layer grows during the brazing process, increasing the melting temperature of the sprayed layer. In addition, when AJ-Ca alloy is sprayed at the same time as Zn, Ca is deposited on the very surface layer of the sprayed layer during vacuum brazing.
Since oxides of Zn are formed, evaporation of Zn is suppressed, which is more effective.

Al−Ca合金のCamは0.2〜5%程度が好ましい
Cam of the Al-Ca alloy is preferably about 0.2 to 5%.
