Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the fields of material science and material chemistry, particularly materials and methods to improve corrosion resistance in heat exchangers.
  • Corrosion resistance is a desirable property in metals, particularly those used in aggressive environments conducive to corrosion.
  • One example of such an aggressive environment is seawater. Accordingly, corrosion resistance of metal materials used in marine applications is an acute problem in the field of material science.
  • the present invention provides different aluminum (Al) alloy materials which can be used in roll bonding processes to produce plate heat exchangers which contain flow channels or tubes for carrying fluid. These heat exchangers are made with relatively low-cost, roll-bonding processes and display a high heat transfer efficiency and excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in marine environments.
  • two separate Al sheets are passed simultaneously through a roll stand, usually at elevated temperature.
  • the upper surface of the lower sheet, which contacts the lower surface of the upper sheet, is usually screen printed with a weld-stop ink in a desired pattern.
  • the appropriate processing temperature for roll bonding will vary as a function of the total gauge reduction and the alloys being processed, but is likely to be somewhere in the range of 150° C. to 500° C.
  • a permanent metallurgical bond is created between the two sheets (effectively creating a single sheet).
  • the regions of the mating surface incorporating the weld-stop ink do not form a permanent bond. These regions can be separated and the subsequent gap inflated to create integral flow channels suitable for a heat exchanger working fluid ( FIG. 1 ).
  • the present invention provides a material comprising a corrosion resistant metal alloy core and a metal alloy cladding which is fusion-cast to the metal alloy core to form a one side clad sheet. Fusion casting is known in the art as evidenced in the following U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,748,434, 7,762,310, 7,789,124, 7,882,887, 7,975,752, 8,336,603, 8,347,949, 8,415,025, and 8,418,748.
  • the metal alloy cladding is selected for ease of roll bonding.
  • the clad layers of two, one side clad sheets are roll bonded to each other to produce an integral tube, twin plate heat exchanger ( FIG. 1 ).
  • This roll bonding process produces a permanent metallurgical bond between regions of the clad layer of the first sheet and the clad layer of the second sheet.
  • Mg magnesium
  • the central concept is to use a single side clad sheet starting stock in the roll-bonding process. This asymmetric arrangement allows metallurgical bonding at the mating surface to be controlled by the composition of the clad layer. This effectively permits the use of any core alloy in a twin-plate heat exchanger ( FIG. 1 ).
  • the clad layers of two sheets of a one side clad material are roll bonded together.
  • AA5XXX alloys may be used as the core layer. Generally, AA5XXX alloys which are considered “dilute” or “low in magnesium” are preferred. These alloys are immune to inter-granular corrosion and display good general corrosion resistance.
  • an AA5005 alloy is used.
  • an AA5052 alloy is used. Alloys with magnesium contents in the range 0.5% to 2.7% (weight percent (wt. %) are considered realistic candidates for the above described single-side-clad configuration. In this patent application, all the percentage numbers associated with individual elements in these alloys are expressed in wt. %.
  • the lower limit reflects the minimum needed to provide good marine corrosion resistance, while the upper limit represents the maximum Mg content that can be accommodated without risking sensitization of the microstructure and increased susceptibility to inter-granular corrosion (IGC).
  • AA3XXX or AA1XXX alloy can be used for the clad layer.
  • AA3XXX and AA1XXX alloys which are considered “dilute” or “low in magnesium” are preferred for ease of roll bonding.
  • the wt. % of magnesium in these alloys is generally in the range of 0.01-0.05% for AA1XXX alloys and 0.01-0.2% for AA3XXX alloys.
  • the primary purpose of the AA3XXX clad layer or the AA1XXX clad layer is to allow effective roll bonding of the aluminum sheet.
  • Mg content is the upper limit beyond which Mg oxidation will increase to an extent where effective and consistent roll-bonding cannot occur. Under normal ambient, atmospheric conditions, this limit is probably around 0.2% Mg; although 0.4% Mg could potentially be accommodated if gauge reductions were high enough. If special measures were taken (e.g. inert atmosphere roll-bonding), then it would be theoretically possible to roll bond using clad alloys of >0.4% Mg.
  • an AA3003 alloy is used for the clad layer.
  • an AA1100 alloy is used for the clad layer.
  • Mg content is ⁇ 0.2% most, if not all, AA1XXX and AA3XXX alloys could be considered for use.
  • the present invention also provides a material, comprising a metal core comprising a high content of scrap metal and having two sides, a first metal cladding fusion cast to one side of the core, and a second metal cladding fusion cast to the other side of the core.
  • the material can be in a form of a sheet. Two of these clad sheets are then roll bonded together to produce a permanent metallurgical bond between regions of a clad layer of the first sheet and a clad layer of the second sheet ( FIG. 2 ).
  • the low cost, but corrosion sensitive core alloy is encapsulated with a corrosion resistant cladding in a manner which prevents contact of the core alloy with either the working fluid (within the integral flow channels), or the external environment (e.g. seawater).
  • roll bond friendly alloys are employed for the clad layers.
  • An AA3XXX or AA1XXX alloy can be used for one or both clad layers.
  • both clad layers are AA3XXX.
  • both clad layers are AA1XXX.
  • one clad layer is AA1XXX and the other clad layer is AA3XXX.
  • one clad layer is AA1XXX or AA3XXX and the other clad layer is AA5XXX.
  • the clad layers may surround a low cost core layer which can contain a relatively high content of scrap metal containing aluminum.
  • Variable scrap sources can be used to make the core layer so that the heat exchanger panels can act as an effective aluminum scrap sink.
  • the two side clad embodiment resembles a sandwich structure designed to encapsulate virtually any aluminum-based composition in the core layer, whether defined by an AA number or not.
  • alloy AA4045 was used as the core layer.
  • AA3XXX or AA1XXX alloy can be used for one or both clad layers.
  • AA3XXX and AA1XXX alloys which are considered “dilute” or “low in magnesium” are preferred for ease of roll bonding.
  • the wt % of magnesium in these alloys is generally in the range of 0.01-0.05% for AA1XXX alloys and 0.05-0.2% for AA3XXX alloys.

  • FIG. 3 shows schematic representations of a discontinuous aluminum roll-bonding process to produce an integral tube, twin-plate heat exchanger.
  • improved Al-based metal materials that can be described as sheets comprising a core and cladding.
  • the improved metal materials are formed into sheets and the cladding is attached to one side of the sheet (one-sided cladding) or to both sides of the sheet (two-sided cladding).
  • One example of the improved metal material is a one-sided clad sheet comprising a metal alloy core and a metal alloy cladding which is fusion-cast to the metal alloy core.
  • Another example of the improved metal material is a sheet comprising a metal core with first metal cladding fusion-cast to the first side of the core, and a second cladding fusion-cast to the second side of the core.
  • Still another example of the improved metal material is a sheet comprising a metal alloy core and a metal alloy cladding which is roll-bonded to the metal alloy core.
  • Yet another example of the improved metal material is a sheet comprising a metal core with first metal cladding roll-bonded to the first side of the core, and a second cladding roll-bonded to the second side of the core.
  • Embodiments of the improved metal materials described herein can be referred to as “clad sheet alloys.”
  • the inventors discovered that, by combining different metal alloys in the clad sheet alloys, they can achieve one or more of the following advantages: improved ease of fabrication of the metal composites; lowered fabrication costs due to use of scrap in the core layer; increased corrosion resistance; and, incorporation of high scrap metal content.
  • Two clear advantages of the Fusion/Roll bonding combination are corrosion resistance (by virtue of being able to use corrosion resistant alloys that would not normally be roll bondable) and scrap incorporation into the core layer which is not possible in a monolithic form.
  • Corrosion resistance of metal materials is an acute problem in the field of material science, particularly when the materials are used in aggressive environments.
  • An aggressive environment is a marine environment.
  • Aluminum can be very easily oxidized, forming a protective passive oxide film on the metal surface. Formation of a stable oxide film on the aluminum surface generally provides excellent resistance to corrosion.
  • Corrosion of aluminum can take place, however, when the oxide film is damaged or under certain electrochemical conditions, including the presence of chloride anions, such as in seawater.
  • Pitting corrosion is a form of highly localized corrosion occurring on a metal surface, which is often observed to initiate at weak points in the passive film, such as intermetallic inclusions or particles. Once the passive film at local points is broken, ion/electron pairs are created and corrosion is able to proceed by half reactions occurring at the anodic and cathodic sites. Pitting resistance can be evaluated by electrochemical testing methods, such
  • Some aluminum alloys possess higher pitting resistance than the other alloys and are therefore more corrosion resistant when used in the aggressive environments, such as seawater.
  • corrosion resistant alloys may be expensive to produce, and also do not necessarily possess physical properties that allow them to be exploited in certain applications or technological processes.
  • some of the available corrosion resistant aluminum alloys cannot be easily processed by roll-bonding.
  • Roll-bonding is a cost-efficient fabrication technique highly useful for production of certain composite metals, materials forms and objects.
  • the inventors discovered that it is possible to utilize the advantages of roll-bonding of an aluminum material, yet achieve higher corrosion resistance than allowed by the alloys usually suitable for roll-bonding. This objective can be accomplished by combining the alloys suitable for roll-bonding with corrosion resistant alloys in the same materials.

  • core alloys may be selected for one or more of the following characteristics: formability; corrosion resistance, such as long term corrosion resistance in warm and cold seawater; suitable galvanic balance between core alloy and cladding alloy to ensure self-protection of the clad sheet alloy at the edges exposed to a corrosive environment; compatibility with re-melting; and, conventional rolling processes.
  • Roll-bonding compatible aluminum alloys contain various elements as shown in the table below.
  • Mg content is the upper limit beyond which Mg oxidation will increase to an extent where effective and consistent roll-bonding cannot occur. Under normal ambient, atmospheric conditions, this limit is probably around 0.2% Mg; although 0.4% Mg could potentially be accommodated if gauge reductions were high enough.
