[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a flux removing agent for removing weakly acidic flux used in brazing, and a flux removing agent using the same.
The present invention relates to a post-brazing cleaning method, and in particular to a cleaning method using weakly acidic flux to improve the corrosion resistance of brazed parts, and a removal agent therefor. [Prior Art] Amphoteric metals, especially aluminum and aluminum alloys, which are generally used as objects to be treated, are easily oxidized, and the oxide film on their surface layer is dense and has a high melting point.
Due to its property of being difficult to damage, aluminum brazing is considered more difficult than brazing with other metals, such as silver brazing and brass brazing. Also, one of the important points in brazing is cleaning the base material before brazing, and generally, flux is used to chemically activate the surface of the base material. Therefore, inorganic chlorides, fluorides, etc. have often been used as fluxes for brazing aluminum and aluminum alloys having strong surface oxide films. Table 1 shows examples of the composition of 12 types of commercially available brazing fluxes. All fluxes are acidic or weakly acidic and highly corrosive, so it is necessary to remove residual flux as soon as possible after brazing. Ta.

[Table] On the other hand, when brazing aluminum and aluminum alloys, the flow of the solder is often insufficient, especially when creating aluminum waveguides used in microwave communication equipment as shown in Figure 1a. As shown in , cross-sectional view b, and enlarged view c, the aluminum tube 1
In many cases, the solder does not flow through the center part 5 of the joint part 4, 4' between the aluminum pipe 2 or the flange 3, and furthermore, if the excess brazed part 6 in the joint pipe is scraped off for use, the solder may not have been brazed. A gap 7 is formed, and the flux remaining in this gap damages the aluminum base material over time, causing corrosion to progress. Further, similar corrosion occurs in pinholes 9 and the like in the brazed portion 8 as shown in FIG. This corrosion is caused by insufficient removal of residual flux during post-brazing treatment. Generally, methods for removing these residual fluxes include mechanical cleaning and chemical cleaning, and a combination of both is said to be most preferable. Mechanical cleaning is a method of scrubbing with a brush, and chemical cleaning is a method of removing residual flux by immersion in chemicals shown in Table 2.

Conventionally, the flux remaining in minute gaps and pinholes is mechanically removed, gaps,
Corrosion resistance has been improved by filling pinholes and cutting off the oxygen supply to stop corrosion growth, and by changing the brazed joint structure to create a structure that eliminates gaps. All of these methods have problems such as being time consuming and expensive, and leaving concerns about the reliability of the brazed portion. For this reason, when brazing aluminum and aluminum alloys, residual flux or removal chemicals in minute gaps and pinholes significantly deteriorate the corrosion resistance of the brazed parts, significantly reducing the reliability of precision electronic components. . [Means for Solving the Problems] As described above, the present invention aims at eliminating corrosion caused by flux remaining in gaps and pinholes of parts to be brazed such as aluminum and aluminum alloys after brazing. As a treatment and cleaning method, the flux itself is neutralized without using acid or alkaline residual flux removal chemicals, and the neutralizing solution is PH8 to PH10 with the addition of sodium metasilicate, which is non-corrosive to aluminum and aluminum alloys. Post-treatment is performed using a hot water bath with a flux remover consisting of an aqueous solution of step 5. [Function] Therefore, the flux remaining outside after brazing can be removed, and at the same time, the flux remaining in minute gaps and pinholes is neutralized and becomes a non-corrosive residue for aluminum and aluminum alloys, improving the corrosion resistance of the brazed part. It is characterized by significantly improving the corrosion resistance and enables aluminum brazing of precision parts of electronic parts, and its purpose is to improve the corrosion resistance of the parts to be brazed in precision parts of electronic parts. [Example] As already mentioned, there are things that significantly impede corrosion resistance after brazing, such as residual flux, cleaning solution residue, and blackening of the aluminum surface due to long-term immersion in hot water or hot water. . Examples according to the present invention will be described below according to experimental results. The experiments are reference experiments for comparing the effects of the embodiments of the present invention. [Experiment] The experiment was conducted to investigate the corrosion resistance of aluminum brazed parts subjected to a conventional post-brazing cleaning method. As shown in Table 3, conventional post-brazing cleaning methods include: (a) when performing general cleaning including alkaline degreasing, pickling, and water washing, (b) after step (a), activator cleaning, Two examples were taken where thorough cleaning was performed using ultrasonic water cleaning, etc., and the difference in corrosion resistance of aluminum brazed parts after each cleaning was investigated through two types of environmental tests. The difference in corrosion resistance expressed as the experimental results is
The corrosion state of the surface of the aluminum brazed parts after the environmental test is observed and ranked in the following four stages as an evaluation standard. The same goes for other experiments. A: No corrosion observed. B: The brazed part has turned black. C: A buildup of corrosive matter is seen in the brazed portion. D: There is a large amount or several points of corrosive build-up in the brazed area,
It is clearly recognized that the degree of corrosion is more significant than that of C. Therefore, the closer it is to A, the better the corrosion resistance.
The closer it is to D, the poorer the corrosion resistance.

The experiment compared the corrosion resistance of aluminum brazed parts when a water displacing agent was used to eliminate the residual processing solution accumulated in minute gaps and pinholes, and when the post-processing was thoroughly cleaned in boiling water. show. Table 4 shows examples of post-treatment cleaning using a water displacement agent or boiled water to eliminate residual treatment liquid, but the water displacement agent has almost no effect and cleaning with boiling water is more effective. It turned out to be true. However, during a 12-day temperature and humidity test at a temperature of 60°C and a humidity of 90% RH, corrosion was observed in 20 to 30% of the material.

In the experiment, aluminum brazed parts by the process (invention) that included hot water washing with 0.01% by weight sodium metasilicate solution and aluminum brazed parts by the conventional process were subjected to post-treatment cleaning as shown in Table 7. An environmental test was conducted to investigate the difference in corrosion resistance between the attached parts and the attached parts. Figure 7 shows the results of an outdoor vacuum test for brazed parts treated according to the present invention and brazed parts treated by the conventional process. No occurrence of corrosion was observed, and it was confirmed that this treatment is effective as a cleaning treatment after brazing aluminum and aluminum alloys to improve corrosion resistance. [Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention significantly improves corrosion resistance by neutralizing flux remaining in brazed parts of aluminum and aluminum alloys, especially in gaps and pinholes, making them non-corrosive. Therefore, it can be easily used without causing corrosion even in complex areas such as flanges, branches, mounts, etc. of aluminum waveguides used in microwave communication equipment, or in areas where the flow of filler metal is poor. This method significantly expands the scope of use compared to conventional methods.
