Definitions
- This invention relates to brazed aluminium heat exchangers, such as radiators, condensers, evaporators and heater cores, and, more particularly, to a series brazing sheets with excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.
- Heat exchanger units for use in automobiles were, until the 1970's, manufactured from copper and brass.
- aluminium brazing sheet is now an established material for the manufacture of automotive heat exchangers for the engine cooling and air conditioning systems in passenger cars and light trucks.
- Good corrosion resistance, formability and high thermal conductivity make aluminium an ideal material for the construction of these heat exchangers.
- Aluminium brazing is now the preferred process for the production of automotive heat exchangers. Aluminium brazing involves joining of components with a brazing alloy, that is an aluminium alloy (Al-Si) whose melting point is appreciably lower than that of the components. This brazing alloy is usually placed adjacent to or in between the components to be joined and assembly is then heated to a temperature where the brazing alloy melts but not the components. Upon cooling, the brazing alloy forms a metallurgical bond between the joining surfaces of the components. In automotive heat exchanger applications, this filler metal is supplied via a thin sheet or clad on a core alloy. The core provides structural integrity while the low melting point Al-Si cladding alloy melts and flows during the brazing process, to provide upon cooling a metallic bond between the components.
- a brazing alloy that is an aluminium alloy (Al-Si) whose melting point is appreciably lower than that of the components.
- Al-Si aluminium alloy
- This brazing alloy is usually placed adjacent to or in between the components to be joined and
- Controlled atmosphere brazing relies on a flux to react with and remove the aluminium oxide.
- Fluoride-based fluxes e.g. a mixture of potassium tetrafluoro- aluminate and hexafluorotripotassium aluminate, are advantageous since they leave no corrosive residues.
- An aluminium brazing sheet is manufactured by roll-bonding techniques to clad the core alloy ingot on both sides with the low melting point Al-Si alloy, or to clad the core on one side with Al-Si alloy and another side with Zn - containing alloy for sacrificial corrosion protection, which is commonly used on coolant side of heat exchanger components. It is common to use a variety of aluminium alloys for core alloy, examples being the AA lxxx or 3xxx, and more particularly AA 1100, AA 1197, AA 3003, AA 3005 and AA 3105.
- the filler metal used to join the manifold to the tubes and other components are from the AA 4xxx series aluminium alloys or more particularly AA 4343, AA 4045, AA 4047, AA 4343 + 1% Zinc, and AA 4045+1% Zinc.
- the AA 7072 has been commonly used as waterside alloy.
- AA is common alloy designations by the Aluminium Association (AA).
- the heat exchanger component may be subjected to conditions that include: mechanical loading, vibration and salt water environments during winter driving conditions.
- the most critical part is the tube for which high heat transfer, good corrosion resistance, both internally and externally and adequate burst strength are required.
- the durability of a brazed aluminium heat exchanger in a corrosive environment is dependent on the inherent corrosion performance of each component (header, fin, tube, etc.) and their relative electrochemical behaviour. It is common practice to tailor the fin/fin-cladding and header/header-cladding in such a way that these components and the fillers become sacrificial to the tube.
- the main object of this invention is to provide a series of improved strong and long life corrosion resistant aluminium brazing sheets with the optimised combination of core and clad for manufacturing of welded tubes and headers.
- the core is clad on both sides with a brazing metal, or clad on one side with the brazing metal but on another side with AA 7072, or clad on one side with the brazing metal but on another side with a new inner cladding alloy.
- the alloys for the core and clad can be produced from recycled materials.
- Another object of this invention is to provide an improved strong and long life corrosion resistant aluminium brazing sheet with the optimised combination of core and clad for manufacturing of sideplates.
- the core is clad on one side with the brazing metal.
- the alloys for the core and clad can be produced from recycled materials.
- the alloy sheet consists of a core and a brazing metal clad on one side of the core.
- SWAAT Sea Water Acetic Acid Test, ASTM G85
- Figure 1 shows the comparison of post-braze mechanical properties and sagging resistance of sheet 4 to sheet 8.
- Figure 2 shows comparison of the cross-sectional morphology of sheet 5 and sheet 8 after different SWAAT exposure times.
- Figure 3 shows cross-sectional morphology of the mini samples consisting of different fin joined to sheet 3 after SWAAT testing for different times (a).
- Figure 4 shows plot which reveals the weighted regression coefficients from an empirical model where the response is number of leaks after certain amount of days in SWAAT chamber.
- the invention thus concerns a method of increasing the corrosion durability and mechanical properties of a series brazing sheets, and furthermore, a heat exchanger, wherein the composition of core and clad alloys and the combination of fin, tube, header and sideplates have been optimised.
- the preferred brazing alloy consists essentially of 4-14 weight % Si, maximum 0.8 weight % Fe, maximum 0.5 weight % Cu, maximum 0.5 weight % Mg, maximum 0.5 weight % Mn, 0.1 - 2 weight % Zn, maximum 0.5 weight % Ti.
- the maximum content of other elements is 0.05 weight % each and a total of 0.15 weight % other elements, and the balance aluminium.
- the invention also includes an aluminium core alloy for tube, header and sideplates with a relatively high melting point, clad to at least one side of said core of an aluminium alloy with relatively low melting point of the above given compositions, suitable for controlled atmosphere brazing.
- the aluminium alloy core should preferably consist of 0.7 to 1.5 weight % Mn, maximum 0.6 weight % Si, maximum 0.6 weight % Fe, maximum 0.6 weight % Zn, maximum 1.0 weight % Cu, maximum 0.4 weight % Mg, maximum 0.5 weight % Ti.
- the maximum content of other elements is 0.05 weight % each and a total of 0.15 weight % other elements, and the balance aluminium.
- the invention also includes an aluminium core alloy for fin with a relatively high melting point, unclad or clad to at least one side of said core of an aluminium alloy with relatively low melting point of the above given compositions, suitable for controlled atmosphere brazing.
- the aluminium alloy core has the composition: 0.7 to 1.5 weight % Mn, maximum 1.2 weight % Si, maximum 0.6 weight % Fe, 0.1 - 2 weight % Zn, maximum 1.0 weight % Cu, maximum 0.4 weight % Mg, maximum 0.5 weight % Ti.
- the maximum content of other elements is 0.05 weight % each and a total of 0.15 weight % other elements, and the balance aluminium.
- the invention includes an aluminium inner cladding alloy which has the composition: 0.7 to 1.5 weight % Mn, maximum 1.2 weight % Si, maximum 0.6 weight % Fe, 1.0 - 2.0 weight % Zn, maximum 0.5 weight % Cu, 0.5 weight % Mg, maximum 0.5 weight % Ti.
- the maximum content of other elements is 0.05 weight % each and a total of 0.15 weight % other elements, and the balance aluminium.
- This alloy is clad on waterside of tube and header to enhance the overall strength of the components and also to enhance the waterside erosion/corrosion resistance.
- the amount of Si affects the melting point of the brazing alloy.
- the patented brazing sheet from Alcan (US5 041 343, 1991) claims that Si in core should be ⁇ 0,15 weight %.
- Si together with Fe is present at a level that is commonly found in recycled materials.
- Zn renders the alloy less noble. It can be actively used to alter the corrosion potential of the various components (cladding, fin, header). By the concept of design against corrosion it is possible to direct corrosion attack preferentially to the least harmful regions of the heat exchanger e.g. fins and/or fillet area, thus protecting the tube from perforation. And also it is thought that relatively small amounts of Zn will make the oxide weaker resulting in lateral corrosion attacks rather than pitting. In 7xxx alloys, Zn is the main alloying element.
- Cu Similar to Zn, Cu also give a strong electrochemical effect on the material. In addition, Cu contributes to solid solution strengthening of the material. A higher concentration of Cu in the core will result in diffusion of Cu into the clad thus depleting the surface zone and making this less noble compared to the bulk.
- Mn is the main alloying element in 3xxx alloys.
- the solid solubility of Mn drop and AlMnSi despersoids precipitate in a dense band underneath the surface of the core.
- coarse (FeMn)Al 6 constituents into -Al(FeMn)Si particles.
- the top layer acts sacrificial with respect to the bulk of the core and protects the tube from perforation.
- the width of the anodic layer is directly proportional to the depth of Si diffusion during brazing.
- Mg primarily contributes to solid solution strengthening of the material.
- the content has to be restricted to maximum about 0.4 weight % in the core and about 0.1 weight % in the brazing clad, respectively, since higher levels will reduce the brazeability of the sheet.
- Mg diffuses towards the surface and reacts with the NokolockTM flux and thereby reduces the wetting action of the molten clad material.
- Mg is present together with Si and Zn. After brazing, this will make the waterside layer age hardened during storing and in service, resulting in the increase in the erosion/corrosion resistance and also the increase in the overall strength of the components.
- Ti and titanium boron (TiB 2 ) is added as grain refiner which is important in connection with casting of the slabs. Grain refinement cause more uniform distribution of the alloying elements throughout the slab and reduce the risk of causing defects and large segregation. It is preferred to have a maximum content of 0.05 weight % Ti in the alloys.
- Recycled metal contains relatively high levels of Fe (up to 0.8 weight %). In order to lead to both energy and cost saving, ideally both core and clad materials should be produced from as much recycled metal as possible. There is a compromise between amount of scrap entering industrial production and final corrosion properties of the product. Pitting corrosion may take place in the vicinity of Al 3 Fe particles which are highly cathodic compared to the matrix. However, when Mn is present, (Fe,Mn)-Al 6 particles will form instead and these particles have approximately the same electro- chemical potential as Al. The size and distribution of Fe-based primary particles may play a major role in whether the mode of corrosion attack will be pitting or general.
- BDP clad/core interface
- Perforation of brazing sheet by corrosion is predominantly caused by intergranular corrosion.
- intergranular corrosion By elongating the grains and creating a "pancake" structure, the intergranular path length increases significantly.
- the intergranular corrosion has to go on a more tortuous path before perforation takes place.
- large grains also give good brazeability and excellent sagging resistance of the sheets. Elongated grain morphology can be achieved through H14 and H24 tempers.
- Another mechanism contributing to the excellent corrosion properties could be the formation of a Cu depletion band at the surface of the brazed materials.
- Relatively high amount of Cu in the core can create a thick Cu depleted band at the surface of brazed materials by diffusion of Cu from the core (high Cu) into the (molten) clad materials (low Cu).
- the depletion of Cu from the material at the surface renders it less noble compared to the bulk material.
- the lower Cu concentration at the surface could therefore give rise to a sacrificial band (less noble band) which may be a reason for the good corrosion performance.
- the long life corrosion performance of the alloy sheets might also be explained by a combination of two or all three corrosion protection mechanisms mentioned above.
- an additional way of enhancing corrosion protection of the alloy sheets could be the diffusion of Zn from the braze clad into the core during brazing due to the high Zn content in the clad. This results in a concentration gradient of Zn from surface towards the centre of the core. Since Zn renders the alloy less noble, as the corrosion proceeds in the sheets, the Zn concentration gradient at the surface continually provides additional preferential cathodic protection for the sheet core regions to prevents pit formation. This could account for the better corrosion performance achieved by alloys of the invention.
- the aluminium alloy sheets of the invention are provided in an O temper, or in a H14 temper or in a H24 temper before the sheets are subjected to a brazing cycle.
- the alloy sheets of the invention for tube and header applications are manufactured in the following way: 1) casting an ingot of the core alloy;
- alloy sheets of the invention for sideplates and clad fin application are manufactured in the following way:
- the alloy sheets of the invention for unclad fin application are manufactured in the following way: 1) casting an ingot of the alloy.
- an important aspect of the invention is to provide the method of producing a brazed assembly, in particular a brazed heat exchangers, with adequate corrosion performance in SWAAT, using the alloy sheets of the invention by optimising the mate ⁇ al combination of fin, tube, header and sideplates.
- the clad can/may have a higher concentration of Zn than fin alloy before brazing. Because of the diffusion of Zn, a concentration gradient of Zn formed from the airside of fin towards the tube core du ⁇ ng brazing. The resulting fillet is less anodic than the fin Therefore, the whole heat exchanger system will end up with a good corrosion design situation with the fin protecting the tube and the fillet cathodically
- the invention also includes a new inner cladding alloy (waterside alloy). Due to the presence of Mg together with Zn and Si in the alloy, after brazing, high strength is achieved in this inner cladding layer by age hardening du ⁇ ng sto ⁇ ng and in service As a consequence, the overall strength of the tube and header and moreover the whole assembly is increased. The maximum resistance to waterside erosion/corrosion can be achieved by using this alloy
- the alloy sheets in accordance with the invention all achieved much higher post-braze strength compared to the prior art alloys 7 and 8. Moreover, the strength may further be increased by increasing the Cu level in the alloys.
- the alloy sheets in accordance with this invention have an excellent corrosion resistance with respect to pitting corrosion.
- the alloys of this invention contain high Fe and Si content, enabling production based on recycled metal.
- the excellent corrosion resistance of such type of alloys is achieved through the optimisation and combination of clad and core alloys.
- Figure 3 shows the cross-sectional morphology of mini heat exchanger samples consisting of standard AA 3003 fin (Figure 3a) and the fin alloy of the invention ( Figure 3b) joined to sheet 3, respectively, and SWAAT tested, along with the calculated corrosion potential at different regions of the samples. It can be seen that when the AA 3003 fin was brazed to sheet 3 ( Figure 3a), the fin to sheet joint is the most anodic region in the component. After SWAAT testing for only 10 days, the joint fillets were severely corroded. The corrosion attack in the tube has propagated along the interface layer between the residual cladding and the core, which may be associated with the BDP formed during brazing. In this case, the whole component is in a poor galvanic situation.
- the fin alloy of the invention were braze joined to all tube alloys of the invention and the same corrosion pattern to Figure 3 were observed.
- the Zn content in the clad alloy (1.72 wt.% in sheet 4, 2.01 wt.% m sheet 5 and 1.698 wt.% in sheet 5) is higher than the fin alloy (1.5 wt.%) before brazing, because of the diffusion of Zn, a concentration gradient of Zn formed from the airside of the fin surface towards the tube core du ⁇ ng brazing. Therefore, the resulting fillet is less anodic than the fin. This indicates that by optimising the mate ⁇ al combination of fin, tube, header and sideplates which can be produced from recycled metals, the heat exchanger will be able to give good corrosion performance.
- a core produced from recycled mate ⁇ al requires a high Zn concentration in clad in order for tube and header to achieve long life corrosion performance.
- the results indicate that the clad can/may have a higher concentration of Zn than fin alloy before brazing.
- the whole system will end up with a good galvanic situation that the fin gives cathodic protection of the tube, header and the fillet. This is important for the total design of the heat exchangers with regard to both corrosion and heat transfer performance.
