An Al-Si brazing material is clad for joining a tube to a fin and for brazing a tube to a header plate. As a brazing method, the brazing method is performed in an inert gas atmosphere. A brazing method using a halide flux is generally applied, but a vacuum brazing method may be employed. On the other hand, the sacrificial anode material forms the inner surface of the tube and contacts the working fluid during use of the heat exchanger to exert a sacrificial anode effect, thereby preventing pitting and crevice corrosion of the core material.

[0005] In recent years, environmental problems, and also energy saving,
The demand for lower cost has led to a reduction in the weight of automobiles.With this, there has been a strong demand for weight reduction of heat exchangers for automobiles.Thus, it is necessary to further reduce the thickness of heat exchanger components such as tube materials. It is becoming necessary. However, when thinning the tube material used for radiators and heaters and adding various elements to maintain a specific strength, the corrosion resistance is impaired, and the thinning of the material causes the flatness of the welded flat tube to deteriorate. As a result, the productivity of the heat exchanger is significantly impaired, and the durability of the heat exchanger becomes problematic.

Thus, there has been proposed a method of improving the cutability of a flat welded tube. Although the pipe formability of the flat welded tube can be improved to some extent by the above means, depending on the material used as the material becomes thinner, the quality of the pipe formability may vary, and the product yield may be reduced. From the viewpoints of improvement in cost and cost reduction, further improvement in pipe formability is desired.

Cu increases the potential difference between the sacrificial anode material and the brazing material by increasing the strength of the core material and making the potential noble, thereby increasing the corrosion prevention effect of the sacrificial anode material and the sacrificial anode effect of the brazing material. It increases the action and contributes to the improvement of the corrosion resistance of the clad material. Further, Cu in the core material diffuses into the sacrificial anode material and the brazing material during the brazing heating to form a gentle concentration gradient. As a result, the potential on the core material side becomes noble, the potential on the surface side of the sacrificial anode material and the brazing material becomes low, and a gentle potential gradient is formed in the sacrificial anode material and the brazing material. Use a general corrosion type that spreads. The preferred content of Cu is 0.3 to 1.0.

[0016] Si has the effect of increasing the strength of the core material. However, if it is contained in an amount of 0.5% or more, the core material will corrode when used for a long period of time in a particularly severe corrosive environment, leading to penetration corrosion. Therefore, the content is preferably set to less than 0.5%.

Although Fe is contained as an impurity in the aluminum base metal, it acts as a cathode with respect to the aluminum base material, and thus acts to reduce the corrosion resistance of the core material. Therefore, its content is desirably kept as low as possible, but a high-purity aluminum ingot with an extremely low Fe content is expensive and cannot be put to practical use.

[0018] Ti functions to further improve the corrosion resistance of the core material. That is, Ti is divided into a high-concentration region and a low-concentration region, which are alternately distributed in the plate thickness direction to form a layer, and the region with a low Ti concentration preferentially corrodes as compared with the region with a high concentration. Since the form is layered, the progress of corrosion in the thickness direction is prevented, and as a result, the pitting resistance of the material is improved. The preferable content of Ti is 0.1.
06-0.35%, and the content is 0.06%.

<Structure of the core material> In the present invention, it is an important requirement that the structure of the core material matrix be a fiber structure. By forming the core material matrix into a fiber structure, the formability of the clad material into a tubular shape and the butt-weldability of the end surfaces in the tube-forming process are improved, and variations in the shape and quality of the tube-forming can be reduced. When the structure of the core material is a recrystallized structure or a mixed structure of a fiber structure and a recrystallized structure, the processability of forming the clad material into a tube shape in the tube forming process may be non-uniform. However, since the butt weldability of the end faces is reduced, welding defects are likely to occur, and the pressure resistance of the flat welded pipe after pipe formation is reduced. Decrease. As a method for forming the core material matrix into a fiber structure, it is preferable to adopt a method of adjusting the annealing treatment temperature at the time of manufacturing the aluminum alloy clad material to a temperature lower than the recrystallization temperature of the core material alloy.

<Strength of clad material> In the present invention,
It is important to adjust the tensile strength of the aluminum alloy clad material before pipe forming to a range of 170 to 260 MPa. The tensile strength of the clad material before pipe forming affects the formability of the clad material into a tube shape and the butt weldability of the end face in the pipe forming process. 170M tensile strength
If the pressure is less than Pa, local deformation tends to occur at the time of forming into a tube shape, and butt welding becomes difficult. If the pressure exceeds 260 MPa, the springback at the time of forming into a tube shape becomes large, so that butt welding becomes difficult and sound It becomes difficult to obtain welded flat tubes. In addition, as a method for adjusting the strength of the clad material to the above-mentioned strength, a method of adjusting an annealing treatment temperature and a cold rolling work degree at the time of manufacturing the clad material can be adopted.
