  • flux-free soldering is hardly or not possible.
  • Fluxes are non-metallic substances that melt before reaching the melting temperature of the solder and wet the surface to be soldered. As a result, an oxide layer forming on the surface of aluminum and the oxygen atmosphere is dissolved or washed away.
  • the flux simultaneously prevents a new oxidation of the surface by residual oxygen present in the furnace atmosphere.
  • soldering methods with flux are the Nocolok method and the CAB (Controlled Atmosphere Brazing) soldering method.
  • the application of the flux is complicated and cost-intensive.
  • the components are after The flux is applied to the soldering, which applies a complex cleaning process, in particular when using chloride fluxes.
  • Other drawbacks of flux killing include: flux cost, air receiver investment and operating costs, waste disposal, dust and environmental impact, post-drying drying / heating of components, energy consumption, dry kiln investment and operating costs, space requirements, flux on the surface of the workpieces, flux residues in the medium cycle.
  • European Patent EP 0 781 623 B1 discloses a method for the production of brazed aluminum heat exchangers in which special heat exchangers in CAB brazing furnaces are partially soldered without flux.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method by which the production of soldered components, in particular of heat exchangers, in particular of aluminum materials, aluminum alloys or wrought alloys, in a brazing furnace, in particular a continuous brazing furnace or a batch-type brazing furnace comprising a muffle , which is purged with inert gas to create a protective gas atmosphere, is simplified.
  • the object is in a method for soldering components, in particular heat exchangers, in particular made of aluminum materials, aluminum alloys or wrought alloys, in a soldering oven, in particular a continuous soldering oven or a batch-type solder oven, which comprises a muffle, which is purged with inert gas to To create a protective gas atmosphere, achieved in that the brazing furnace muffle during soldering of the components such an excessive amount of gas, in particular inert gas or reaction gas is supplied, that a low-oxygen inert gas atmosphere is created.
  • the protective gas atmosphere is improved so that the components can be soldered without the addition of flux.
  • the process of the invention is preferably used in so-called inert gas continuous furnaces.
  • the invention may, but need not, completely eliminate the use of flux.
  • a partial addition of flux on or to the component is possible and has no negative impact on areas of the component that are soldered fluxless.
  • vacuum furnace systems In vacuum soldering, the required high vacuum for the vacuum furnace systems requires a very high technical outlay. Therefore, vacuum furnace systems are very expensive to procure and expensive in operations. Also on the purity of the surface of the components to be soldered contamination (dirt, dust, chips, oxide layers, residues and traces of production aids) high demands are made.
  • the working temperature range of the flux must cover the working range of the solder used. If no careful coordination of solder and flux, no soldering is possible. The duration of action of flux is limited. It follows that the soldering process must be completed in a narrow time window. With the use of flux even low magnesium contents in the alloys of the components lead to a deterioration of the solderability. On the one hand, this is due to a three times higher oxidation rate of magnesium-added materials compared to magnesium-free materials. On the other hand, the forming simple and complex oxides of magnesium, such as magnesium oxide (MgO) and magnesium-aluminum oxide (MgA ⁇ O 4 ), are only slightly soluble in flux. Furthermore, these magnesium oxides react with the flux and, for example, form magnesium fluorides in the product Nocolok, which additionally severely limit the effectiveness of the flux.

  • magnesium-containing corrugated fin alloys is no longer a problem for the manufacture of heat exchangers, as is the case with the use of flux systems.
  • by restricting special elements in the base material, as well as in the solder the wetting properties of the base material or of the solder can be specifically improved.
