Conventionally, chloride-based fluxes have been commonly used for brazing Al or Al alloys, but they are highly hygroscopic and unless the residual flux after brazing is completely removed, corrosion resistance will be significantly reduced. Removal of residual flux requires a cleaning process, which is expensive in terms of equipment. When structures have complex shapes, it is difficult to completely remove flux. US Patent No.
No. 3951328 proposes a method of brazing using KF and AlF 3 fluorides as fluxes. In this invention, a compound of K 3 AlF 6 and KAlF 4 is produced by mixing KF, which has a high hygroscopicity, with AlF 3 and melting the mixture. Since this compound has very low hygroscopicity, it is said that it is not necessary to remove the residual flux remaining on the surfaces to be joined after brazing. However, even if the residual flux is free of corrosive components, there is nothing to improve the corrosion resistance, and there are still drawbacks in terms of improving the corrosion resistance of the members to be joined.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the need to remove flux after brazing when joining using Al-Si brazing, etc., and to leave a highly corrosion-resistant metal coating on the surface of the materials to be joined. Our objective is to provide a flux for aluminum brazing that can be used for aluminum brazing.

An essential condition for a flux that does not require removal after brazing is the absence of hygroscopic components in the residual flux. Fluoride-based fluxes are preferred as non-hygroscopic fluxes. Most of the chloride-based materials have hygroscopic properties, and if the residual flux after brazing is not completely removed, the corrosion resistance will be significantly reduced, which is not suitable for the purpose.

When Al is used as the material to be joined, ZnF 2 decomposes at the brazing temperature and coats the brazed portion with metal Zn, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of Al. Zn is base against Al and can protect Al from corrosion by flux.

A preferred method for producing the flux of the present invention is to melt the components of 30-55% AlF 3 and 35-60% KF in molar ratio, and add 60-64% LiF and 40-40% ZnF 2 in molar ratio to this in advance. 36 was added to the mixture prepared.

The component ranges of AlF 3 and KF were determined to be a component range that melts below the melting point of the materials to be joined. Especially in mole%

It melts below 600℃ and is significantly activated at brazing temperatures.

The amount of ZnF 2 was set to 6 to 15 mol % so that a Zn film could be formed in the vicinity of the joint surface and on the entire surface after brazing. Within this range of components, there is little variation in the melting point of the flux.

The reason why LiF was set in the range of 3 to 25 mol % was because it was confirmed that the melting temperature of the flux would not be increased and that the effect would hardly change even if more than this was added. Experiments have revealed that containing 3 mol% or more of LiF has an effect on wetting and spreading.

AlF3 45-52% and KF 55-48% in mol%
When heated as a component, it melts below 600℃, and this contains 60-64% LiF and 40-36 % ZnF2 in mole%.
If the content is 25 mol%, the melting point will be 620°C or less. It was thus found that even when ZnF 2 and LiF were added, there was almost no increase in the melting point, and a brazed joint with good wetting and spreading properties and excellent corrosion resistance could be obtained at the brazing temperature.

Powders containing 50 mol% of each of dried KF and AlF 3 were filled into a graphite crucible and heated at approximately 680°C in an electric furnace.
It was heated to melt. After confirming that it was molten by stirring with a graphite rod, it was poured into a graphite mold and solidified.
The flux produced by melting was pulverized to pass through a 150-mesh sieve. Next, a powder containing 2 mol % of LiF 62 mol % and 38 mol % ZnF 2 of 150 mesh or less was added to the powder consisting of KF and AlF 3 described above at 20 mol %.

The flux thus produced was made to have a flux concentration of approximately 10% (the rest being water), and an Al plate (A1050: 50 mm square x 1 mm thick) and a wire rod with a diameter of 2.4 mmφ were processed into a ring shape, and the outer diameter of the ring was adjusted. It was attached near 4343 brazing filler metal with a diameter of 13 mm and its wetting and spreading properties were tested. In addition, for the corrosion test, a brazing sheet (core material: 3003, skin material: 4343) was placed at right angles to an A1050 board, and flux was applied near the brazed points.

Both the wet spread test piece and the corrosion test piece were heated at 615°C for 10 seconds in an N 2 inflow electric furnace.
For comparison, the flux was
Components of 57 mol% KF and 43 mol% AlF 3 (Comparative Example 2), and 52 mol% KF without adding ZnF 2 ;
48 mol% of AlF 3 (Comparative Example 1) was similarly used at a concentration of 10% by weight. As a result, when using the flux of the present invention, 20 mol% of No. 1 was 2.0 to 2.3 times as much and 35 mol% of No. 2 was 2.0 to 2.2 times that of the flux of Comparative Example 2 in terms of wetting and spreading. 1.6 to 1.8 times for fluxes, and 1.7 to 2.0 times for fluxes without ZnF 2 added.
It was confirmed that the flux of the present invention is superior. The corrosion test was conducted using the JISH8601 cathode test for 144 hours of continuous operation. As a result, AlF3 and
In the test specimens using only KF and the flux without ZnF 2 addition, a lot of pitting corrosion was detected near the base metal and filler metal (on the A1050 side), and in other places away from the brazed part. was also detected. Pitting depth is 0.4
It reached ~0.7mm.

As a result of the corrosion test, almost no pitting corrosion was observed in either Samples 1 and 2, and of course the depth of pitting corrosion was not measured. A film of Zn and Zn alloy was formed on the surface of the brazed part or other parts. The further improvement in corrosion resistance is due to the formation of dense Zn(OH) 2 on the entire surface of the brazed part.
