Definitions
- the invention relates to alloys based on aluminum, which can be brazed, in particular for the manufacture of large devices.
- alloy 3003 the alloy most suitable for the manufacture of large brazed devices, such as heat exchangers, is alloy 3003, according to the AFNOR NF A 50-541 standard.
- the duration of the cycle imposed, on the one hand, by the own mass of such devices, on the other hand, by the need to limit the heating and cooling rates to a low value (of the order of a few tens of ° C / hour) to avoid internal stresses of thermal origin and corresponding distortions.
- brazing time itself (partially or completely liquid brazing) being generally between a few tens of minutes to several hours, the alloy must sufficiently resist creep.
- the aim of the present invention is therefore to find an alloy based on Al which is brazable and "refractory", that is to say retaining a large fraction of its mechanical characteristics during and after long-term brazing, without alteration. notable for its other properties of use, such as its resistance to corrosion.
- the alloy according to the invention which meets these requirements, has the following composition (by weight%): Fe 0.10 to 0.7
- Cu + Mg is greater than or equal to 0.40%.
- a preferred composition is as follows:
- V ⁇ 0.4 remains aluminum and usual impurities.
- the alloy according to the invention has its characteristics of use tion, in particular the best resistance to dissolution by brazing, if between the casting and the subsequent hot deformation, it undergoes a homogenization cycle in two stages: a) the first, by keeping in the field 590-610 ° C for 2 to 36 hours; b) the second, by maintaining between 450 and 550o C between 30 minutes and 24 hours; these two stages being separated or not by a return to ambient temperature (continuous or discontinuous cooling).
- the simplest and most economical method naturally consists of slow and controlled cooling between the two stages a) and b).
- the alloy can be used in the form of a homogeneous product to which either the brazing is applied during the actual brazing, or which is brought into contact with another product coated with a brazing alloy, or either of composite product, coated with a brazing alloy, obtained, for example, by hot and / or cold co-laminating (sheets or strips plated on one or two sides).
- the alloy is brazing, it can also find applications in all cases where the material is brought temporarily to high temperature, such as kitchen utensils, solar collectors, muffler casings, etc.
- EXAMPLE 1 Three products are produced plated in three layers, each composed of a core alloy and a brazing alloy placed on either side of the core alloy with the thickness per side equal to 5. % of the total thickness.
- compositions are obtained (% by weight):
- Product I is an alloy 3003 plated with solder alloy 4343.
- Products 2 and 3 have a core whose composition is in accordance with the invention; they are also plated with 4343 alloy.
- the brazing alloys are cast by one. known process (semi-continuous casting) and hot rolled after reheating at 500 ° C to a thickness compatible with the thickness of the plated products.
- the core alloys are also cast in plates (semi-continuous casting).
- a homogenization heat treatment is then carried out with maintenance of 20 h at 600 ° C., followed by cooling to 500 ° C. (20 ° C. / h).
- the clad strip thus obtained is then cold rolled and the composite sheets thus obtained are then annealed to the final thickness.
- Brazing is carried out in a flow bath after preheating the products for several hours at a temperature slightly below 570o C. Immersion in the salt bath brought to 600 ° C has a duration of two hours.
- Cooling after brazing is 30 ° C per hour.
- the depth of dissolution in the three cases examined does not exceed 20 microns.
- the same core alloys are used.
- the solder used has the same composition as that of Example 1, but with the addition of 0.3% copper.
- the plated products are obtained by the same processing technique as that described in Example 1, with the only difference being a plating thickness per side of 15% of the total thickness obtained.
- a plated composite is produced (plating thickness per side being 10% of the total thickness) of the following composition (% by weight)
- the transformation of the plated products is carried out in the same way as in Example 1, except with regard to the homogenization supplemented by maintaining for 20 h at 500 ° C.
- the brazing cycle includes heating under vacuum from 1.33 to 13.3 MPa at a temperature of 560o C, so as to homogenize the temperature of the assembly to be brazed, then a two hour hold in the interval brazing temperature (580-590o C), so as to ensure that the solder passes through the liquid state, always under vacuum.
- the cooling is then carried out in the brazing furnace, then in air, with a cooling rate sufficiently slow to ensure the thermal equilibrium within the device.
- the dissolution depth when maintained at the brazing temperature, remains less than 30 microns.
