Description

  The present invention relates to a method for producing a silver-containing clad sheet in which a brazing material layer containing silver is formed on a substrate.

Conventionally, a silver-containing clad sheet in which a brazing material layer containing silver is bonded to a plate-like base material is known.
In this silver-containing clad sheet, the brazing material layer is melted by heating to the brazing temperature in a state where the brazing material is in contact with the base material (member to be brazed), and then cooled. By doing so, the brazing material layer is solidified in a state of being fixed to the base material and the base material. For this reason, a base material and a base material can be brazed.

In the case of producing such a silver-containing clad sheet, in the same manner as a general clad sheet production method, first, a sheet consisting only of a brazing material layer is formed, and the sheet consisting only of this brazing material layer is used as a base material. On the other hand, it is conceivable to produce a silver-containing clad sheet by bonding by rolling.

  By the way, since the ductility of the sheet made of the brazing material layer is different from that of the base material, it is necessary to adjust the component ratio of the brazing material layer to make the ductility close to each other in order to bond them by rolling. .

  However, the properties of the brazing material layer are affected by the component ratio of the brazing material layer. For this reason, in the manufacturing method of the silver containing clad sheet by the conventional rolling process, the property of a brazing material layer will be limited to the range of the conditions which can be bonded together by a rolling process.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to make it possible to realize a wider range of properties of a brazing material layer in a method for producing a silver-containing clad sheet.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for producing a silver-containing clad sheet in which a brazing material layer containing silver is formed on at least one surface of a plate-like base material, the powder containing silver Is disposed on at least one surface of the base material, and the brazing material layer is formed by heat-treating the powder disposed on the at least one surface of the base material in the placement step. And a heat treatment process.

  According to the method for producing a silver-containing clad sheet of the present invention having such characteristics, in the arranging step, silver-containing powder is arranged on at least one surface of the base material, and in the heat treatment step, at least one side of the base material By performing a heat treatment on the powder disposed on the surface, the powder layer made of the powder is used as a brazing material layer.

  Moreover, in this invention, the said arrangement | positioning process is a process of arrange | positioning the said powder on the at least one side surface of the said base material by crimping | bonding the said base material and the said powder between a pair of rolling rollers. adopt.

  Moreover, in this invention, the said heat processing process employ | adopts the structure that the process of melting or sintering by heating the said powder is employ | adopted.

  Moreover, in this invention, the structure that the said silver is contained in the said powder as a pure metal powder or an alloy powder is employ | adopted.

  Moreover, in this invention, the structure that the said powder contains a flux is employ | adopted.

  Moreover, in this invention, the structure of having the process of forming the flux content layer arrange | positioned on the surface on the opposite side to the said base material of the said brazing material layer or the said brazing material layer is employ | adopted.

According to the present invention, the silver-containing powder is disposed on at least one surface of the substrate, and the brazing material layer is formed by heat-treating the disposed powder. That is, according to the present invention, a clad sheet having a brazing material layer is manufactured without bonding a sheet composed of a brazing material layer and a base material by a rolling process. For this reason, the brazing material layer having an arbitrary component ratio can be easily formed by adjusting the component ratio of the powder.
Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize a wider range of properties of the brazing material layer in the silver-containing clad sheet.

The plate-shaped base material Y to be conveyed is arranged by being crimped to one surface (arrangement step).

  The base material Y to which the silver-containing powder X has been pressure-bonded is inserted into the heating furnace 5 positioned below the rolling rollers 3A and 3B via the pulley 4 and heated to a temperature near the melting point of the silver-containing powder X. As a result, the powder layer made of the silver-containing powder X is sintered or melted to form a layer, and is firmly fixed to the surface of the substrate Y, thereby forming a brazing material layer (heat treatment step).

  Then, the base material Y (that is, the silver-containing clad sheet) on which the brazing material layer is formed is recovered by being wound up by the recovery roller 6.
