Description

熱交換器用ブレージングシートおよび空気調和装置用熱交換器Brazing sheet for heat exchanger and heat exchanger for air conditioner
 本開示は、熱交換器を構成する部材に用いられるブレージングシートと、当該ブレージングシートを用いて構成される空気調和装置用熱交換器と、に関する。 The present disclosure relates to a brazing sheet used for a member constituting a heat exchanger and a heat exchanger for an air conditioner configured by using the brazing sheet.
 一般的な熱交換器は、通常、管およびフィンを備えており、管の外周に複数のフィンが取り付けられた構成を有している。管の材料としては、銅(Cu)またはその合金(便宜上「銅材」と称する)が用いられてきたが、近年ではアルミニウム(Al)またはその合金(アルミニウム材)も用いられている。フィンの材料としては、一般的にはアルミニウム材が用いられている。 A general heat exchanger is usually provided with a pipe and fins, and has a configuration in which a plurality of fins are attached to the outer circumference of the pipe. As the material of the tube, copper (Cu) or an alloy thereof (referred to as "copper material" for convenience) has been used, but in recent years, aluminum (Al) or an alloy thereof (aluminum material) has also been used. As a fin material, an aluminum material is generally used.
 熱交換器の製造に際して、管にフィンを取り付けるためには、一般的にはろう材による接合が用いられる。管およびフィンのいずれもアルミニウム材製であれば、例えば、アルミニウム合金製の心材の少なくとも一方の面にろう材層がクラッド(被覆)されたブレージングシートが用いられる。管およびフィンの防食性を考慮すれば、心材の一方の面にろう材がクラッドされ他方の面に犠牲陽極材層がクラッドされたブレージングシートが用いられる。 When manufacturing a heat exchanger, joining with brazing material is generally used to attach fins to the pipe. If both the pipe and the fin are made of an aluminum material, for example, a brazing sheet in which a brazing material layer is clad (coated) on at least one surface of a core material made of an aluminum alloy is used. Considering the corrosion resistance of the pipe and fins, a brazing sheet in which a brazing material is clad on one surface of the core material and a sacrificial anode material layer is clad on the other surface is used.
 ろう材としては、一般的には、アルミニウム合金のろう付けに用いられるアルミニウム-シリコン(Si)系合金が用いられ、犠牲陽極材としては、その電位を卑とするために、一般的にはアルミニウム合金に亜鉛(Zn)を添加したものが用いられる。代表的な犠牲陽極材としては、一般的なアルミニウム-シリコン系合金のろう材に亜鉛を添加したものが挙げられる。これにより、犠牲陽極材がろう材としても機能することになる。 As the brazing material, an aluminum-silicon (Si) -based alloy used for brazing an aluminum alloy is generally used, and as a sacrificial anode material, aluminum is generally used in order to make its potential low. An alloy in which zinc (Zn) is added is used. As a typical sacrificial anode material, a brazing material of a general aluminum-silicon alloy with zinc added can be mentioned. As a result, the sacrificial anode material also functions as a brazing material.
 ところで、自動車用の熱交換器は、排気ガスに接触する可能性があることから、建築物用の空気調和装置等に用いられる熱交換器に比較してより高い耐食性が求められる。例えば、特許文献1には、自動車用熱交換器の流体通路構成材として使用可能なアルミニウム合金ブレージングシートが開示されている。このブレージングシートでは、犠牲陽極材が、Si:2.5~7.0mass%、Zn:1.0~5.5mass%、Fe0.05~1.0mass%を含有し、残部Alと不可避的不純物からなるアルミニウム合金であり、当該犠牲陽極材のクラッド厚さが25~80μmである。 By the way, since heat exchangers for automobiles may come into contact with exhaust gas, higher corrosion resistance is required as compared with heat exchangers used for air conditioners for buildings and the like. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an aluminum alloy brazing sheet that can be used as a fluid passage component of an automobile heat exchanger. In this brazing sheet, the sacrificial anode material contains Si: 2.5 to 7.0 mass%, Zn: 1.0 to 5.5 mass%, Fe 0.05 to 1.0 mass%, and the balance Al and unavoidable impurities. It is an aluminum alloy made of, and the clad thickness of the sacrificial anode material is 25 to 80 μm.
 一方、特許文献2には、例えば空気調和装置(ルームエアコン、空調機)または冷蔵庫用の熱交換器に用いられる、熱交換器用アルミニウム合金製ブレージングフィン材が開示されている。このブレージングフィン材では、犠牲陽極材が、Zn:7~15質量%を含有し、残部がAl及び不可避的不純物からなるアルミニウム合金で構成されており、この犠牲陽極材のクラッド厚さとして、好ましくは7μm以上、さらに好ましくは7~40μmが挙げられている。また、犠牲陽極材は、結晶粒の過度の粗大化を抑制するとともに耐食性を向上させる観点から、8.0質量%以下のSiを含有してもよい組成となっている。 On the other hand, Patent Document 2 discloses an aluminum alloy brazing fin material for a heat exchanger used, for example, in an air conditioner (room air conditioner, air conditioner) or a heat exchanger for a refrigerator. In this brazing fin material, the sacrificial anode material contains Zn: 7 to 15% by mass, and the balance is composed of an aluminum alloy composed of Al and unavoidable impurities, which is preferable as the clad thickness of the sacrificial anode material. Is 7 μm or more, more preferably 7 to 40 μm. Further, the sacrificial anode material has a composition which may contain 8.0% by mass or less of Si from the viewpoint of suppressing excessive coarsening of crystal grains and improving corrosion resistance.

 本発明者らの鋭意検討の結果、空気調和装置用熱交換器におけるブレージングシートでは、自動車用のブレージングシートに比較して接合強度を高める必要があることが明らかとなった。これは、一般に、空気調和装置用熱交換器では、自動車用熱交換器よりも許容される冷媒の圧力(許容内圧)の上限が相対的に高くなるためである。犠牲陽極材がろう材を兼ねる場合には、もちろん犠牲陽極材にも高い接合強度が求められる。 As a result of diligent studies by the present inventors, it has become clear that the brazing sheet in the heat exchanger for an air conditioner needs to have a higher joint strength than the brazing sheet for an automobile. This is because, in general, the upper limit of the allowable refrigerant pressure (allowable internal pressure) of the heat exchanger for an air conditioner is relatively higher than that of the heat exchanger for an automobile. When the sacrificial anode material also serves as a brazing material, of course, the sacrificial anode material is also required to have high bonding strength.
 特許文献1に開示のブレージングシートは、自動車用であり、かつ、鉄(Fe)を含有することが必須である。一方、特許文献2に開示のブレージングフィン材は、犠牲陽極材がろう材を兼ねることは想定されておらず、Siの含有は犠牲陽極作用への寄与が目的である。 The brazing sheet disclosed in Patent Document 1 is for automobiles and must contain iron (Fe). On the other hand, in the brazing fin material disclosed in Patent Document 2, it is not assumed that the sacrificial anode material also serves as a brazing material, and the inclusion of Si is intended to contribute to the sacrificial anode action.
 さらに特許文献2では、犠牲陽極材のZnの含有量が7.0質量%以上でないと犠牲陽極作用を発揮できないとされるが、本発明者らの検討によればZnの含有量は7.0質量%よりも少なくすることが可能である。一方、犠牲陽極材がろう材を兼ねる場合、Siの含有量を多くすることで接合強度を高めることが可能であるものの、Siの含有量が多くなり過ぎると、その流動性が高くなり過ぎ、ブレージングシートの耐食性が著しく低下することも明らかとなった。 Further, in Patent Document 2, it is said that the sacrificial anode action cannot be exhibited unless the Zn content of the sacrificial anode material is 7.0% by mass or more, but according to the study by the present inventors, the Zn content is 7. It can be less than 0% by mass. On the other hand, when the sacrificial anode material also serves as a brazing material, it is possible to increase the bonding strength by increasing the Si content, but if the Si content is too large, the fluidity becomes too high. It was also clarified that the corrosion resistance of the brazing sheet was significantly reduced.
 本開示は、空気調和装置用熱交換器に用いられ、耐食性および耐圧性を良好に両立させることが可能な、犠牲陽極材層を備えるブレージングシートを提供する。 The present disclosure provides a brazing sheet provided with a sacrificial anode material layer, which is used in a heat exchanger for an air conditioner and can achieve both corrosion resistance and pressure resistance.
 本開示に係るブレージングシートは、空気調和装置の熱交換器に用いられるブレージングシートであって、アルミニウム合金製の心材と、当該心材の一方の面に被覆され、シリコン(Si)を含有するアルミニウム合金のろう材からなるろう材層と、当該心材の他方の面に被覆され、亜鉛(Zn)およびシリコン(Si)を含有するアルミニウム合金の犠牲陽極材からなる犠牲陽極材層と、を備える。ブレージングシートは、犠牲陽極材層の厚さが15~25μmの範囲内であり、ブレージングシートの接合時の温度Tが580~660℃の範囲内であるときに、犠牲陽極材におけるシリコンの含有量XSiは、次式(1)

 上記構成によれば、空気調和装置用熱交換器に用いられるブレージングシートにおいて、犠牲陽極材層が上述の範囲内でシリコンを含有している。これにより、ろう材を兼ねる犠牲陽極材において、シリコンの含有量を好適化することができる。そのため、犠牲陽極材層の厚さが上述の範囲内であっても、ブレージングシートの接合構造における耐食性および耐圧性を両立させることが可能になる。 According to the above configuration, in the brazing sheet used for the heat exchanger for the air conditioner, the sacrificial anode material layer contains silicon within the above range. Thereby, the silicon content can be optimized in the sacrificial anode material which also serves as a brazing material.

 上記構成によれば、空気調和装置用熱交換器に用いられるブレージングシートにおいて、犠牲陽極材層が上述の範囲内でシリコンを含有している。これにより、ろう材を兼ねる犠牲陽極材において、シリコンの含有量を好適化することができる。そのため、犠牲陽極材層の厚さが上述の範囲内であっても、ブレージングシートの接合構造における耐食性および耐圧性を両立させることが可能になる。 According to the above configuration, in the brazing sheet used for the heat exchanger for the air conditioner, the sacrificial anode material layer contains silicon within the above range. Thereby, the silicon content can be optimized in the sacrificial anode material which also serves as a brazing material.

 以下、本開示の代表的な実施の形態を、図面を参照しながら説明する。なお、以下では全ての図を通じて同一又は相当する要素には同一の参照符号を付して、その重複する説明を省略する。 Hereinafter, typical embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following, the same or corresponding elements will be designated by the same reference numerals throughout all the figures, and duplicate description thereof will be omitted.
 本開示に係るブレージングシートは、熱交換器に用いられるアルミニウム合金製である。具体的には、例えば、図1Aに示すように、本開示に係るブレージングシート10は、心材11、ろう材層12、および犠牲陽極材層13を備えている。ろう材層12は、心材11の一方の面に被覆(クラッド)され、犠牲陽極材層13は心材11の他方の面、すなわちろう材層12が被覆されている面とは反対側の面に被覆されている。心材11、ろう材層12を構成するろう材、および、犠牲陽極材層13を構成する犠牲陽極材はいずれもアルミニウム合金である。 The brazing sheet according to the present disclosure is made of an aluminum alloy used for a heat exchanger. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 1A, the brazing sheet 10 according to the present disclosure includes a core material 11, a brazing material layer 12, and a sacrificial anode material layer 13. The brazing material layer 12 is coated (clad) on one surface of the core material 11, and the sacrificial anode material layer 13 is on the other surface of the core material 11, that is, the surface opposite to the surface on which the brazing material layer 12 is coated. It is covered. The core material 11, the brazing material forming the brazing material layer 12, and the sacrificial anode material forming the sacrificial anode material layer 13 are all aluminum alloys.
 あるいは図示しないが、本開示に係るブレージングシート10は、心材11および犠牲陽極材層13を備え、ろう材層12を備えていない構成でもよい。このようなブレージングシート10では、心材11の両方の面に犠牲陽極材層13が形成されている。 Alternatively, although not shown, the brazing sheet 10 according to the present disclosure may have a core material 11 and a sacrificial anode material layer 13, and may not have a brazing material layer 12. In such a brazing sheet 10, a sacrificial anode material layer 13 is formed on both surfaces of the core material 11.
 本開示に係るブレージングシート10は、少なくとも犠牲陽極材層13の側に接合部位を有しており、この接合部位の接合面同士を互いに接合することで接合部を形成する。ブレージングシート10同士を接合部位で接合した構造が、本開示に係るブレージングシート10の接合構造である。本開示に係るブレージングシート10の具体的な形状は特に限定されないが、代表的には、接合部位に隣接し、当該接合部位に対して傾斜する傾斜部位を有する構成を挙げることができる。 The brazing sheet 10 according to the present disclosure has a joint portion at least on the side of the sacrificial anode material layer 13, and the joint portion is formed by joining the joint surfaces of the joint portions to each other. The structure in which the brazing sheets 10 are joined to each other at the joining site is the joining structure of the brazing sheets 10 according to the present disclosure. The specific shape of the brazing sheet 10 according to the present disclosure is not particularly limited, but a typical example may be a configuration having an inclined portion adjacent to the joint portion and inclined with respect to the joint portion.
 具体的には、例えば、図1Bに示すように、本開示に係るブレージングシート10の接合構造20は、ブレージングシート10の接合部位10a同士を接合して構成される。接合部位10aには傾斜部位10bが隣接しており、接合部位10aに対する傾斜部位10bの傾斜角θ1は特に限定されないが、ブレージングシートの接合構造20における傾斜部位10b同士で形成される角度θ2が鋭角すなわち90°未満であればよい(θ2<90°)ので、傾斜角θ1はその1/2である45°未満であればよい。また、図1Bに示すように、傾斜部位10b同士の間にはフィレット22が形成される。このフィレット22は、本実施の形態では、接合時に接合部位10aから流出したろう材または犠牲陽極材が固化したものとして定義される。 Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 1B, the joining structure 20 of the brazing sheet 10 according to the present disclosure is configured by joining the joining portions 10a of the brazing sheet 10 to each other. The inclined portion 10b is adjacent to the joint portion 10a, and the inclination angle θ1 of the inclined portion 10b with respect to the joint portion 10a is not particularly limited, but the angle θ2 formed between the inclined portions 10b in the joining structure 20 of the brazing sheet is an acute angle. That is, it may be less than 90 ° (θ2 <90 °), so the inclination angle θ1 may be less than 45 °, which is 1/2 of that. Further, as shown in FIG. 1B, fillets 22 are formed between the inclined portions 10b. In the present embodiment, the fillet 22 is defined as a solidified wax material or sacrificial anode material that has flowed out from the joint portion 10a at the time of joining.
 なお、ブレージングシートの接合構造20を構成する各傾斜部位10bにより形成される角度θ2を、説明の便宜上「傾斜部位形成角」と称する。また、図1Bでは、傾斜角θ1、および、傾斜部位形成角θ2は、点線で図示しているが、これら角度の基準は、図中点線で示すように、ブレージングシート10の厚さの中間線(一方の面と他方の面との双方から中間の厚さ(深さ)となる線)としている。ただし、これら角度θ1およびθ2の基準は厚さの中間線に限定されず、その他の公知の基準(例えば接合側の面を基準とした角度等)であってもよい。 The angle θ2 formed by each inclined portion 10b constituting the joining structure 20 of the brazing sheet is referred to as an “inclined portion forming angle” for convenience of explanation. Further, in FIG. 1B, the inclination angle θ1 and the inclination portion formation angle θ2 are shown by dotted lines, but the reference of these angles is an intermediate line of the thickness of the brazing sheet 10 as shown by the dotted line in the figure. (A line having an intermediate thickness (depth) from both one surface and the other surface). However, the reference of these angles θ1 and θ2 is not limited to the intermediate line of the thickness, and may be another known reference (for example, an angle with respect to the surface on the joint side).
 傾斜角θ1は、前述の通り45°未満であればよいが、その上限は、好ましくは40°未満であり、より好ましくは35°未満であればよい。空気調和装置用熱交換器の構造にもよるが、傾斜角θ1が40°を超えると、プレス加工時にブレージングシート10に部分的な減肉が生じたり、心材11に部分的なエロージョンが生じたりするおそれがある。 The inclination angle θ1 may be less than 45 ° as described above, but the upper limit thereof is preferably less than 40 °, more preferably less than 35 °. Depending on the structure of the heat exchanger for the air conditioner, if the inclination angle θ1 exceeds 40 °, the brazing sheet 10 may be partially thinned or the core material 11 may be partially eroded during press working. There is a risk of doing so.
 接合部位10aに対する傾斜部位10bの傾斜角θ1が相対的に大きいということは、プレス加工時にブレージングシート10に対して大きな加工が加えられていることを意味する。これによりブレージングシート10に部分的に減肉が発生する。ブレージングシート10が部分的に減肉すると、減肉部分に応力集中または耐圧不足等が発生するため、当該部分から破損してしまうおそれがある。 The fact that the inclination angle θ1 of the inclined portion 10b with respect to the joint portion 10a is relatively large means that a large processing is applied to the brazing sheet 10 during the press working. As a result, the brazing sheet 10 is partially thinned. When the brazing sheet 10 is partially thinned, stress concentration or insufficient pressure resistance occurs in the thinned portion, so that the portion may be damaged.
 また、大きな加工がブレージングシート10に加わることにより、当該加工が加えられた部位において、ろう材層12から心材11へのシリコンの拡散係数が大きくなり、これによりエロージョン(心材11の溶融)が生じるおそれが高まる。エロージョンが発生すると、溶融した心材11の周囲に存在する犠牲陽極材層13が含有する亜鉛を巻き込むことになり、心材11の一部が「犠牲陽極材」化する。その結果、エロージョンが発生した部位からブレージングシート10が早期貫通する可能性が生じる。 Further, when a large processing is applied to the brazing sheet 10, the diffusion coefficient of silicon from the brazing material layer 12 to the core material 11 becomes large at the portion where the processing is applied, which causes erosion (melting of the core material 11). The risk increases. When erosion occurs, zinc contained in the sacrificial anode material layer 13 existing around the molten core material 11 is involved, and a part of the core material 11 becomes a “sacrificial anode material”. As a result, there is a possibility that the brazing sheet 10 penetrates early from the site where the erosion occurs.
 これに対して、傾斜角θ1が40°以下であれば、ブレージングシート10に対して大きな加工が加えられるおそれが低減する。それゆえ、ブレージングシート10に部分的な減肉が生じたり、心材11に部分的なエロージョンが生じたりするおそれを有効に抑制することができる。もちろん、空気調和装置用熱交換器の構造によっては、傾斜角θ1が40°を超えていても、プレス加工時のブレージングシート10の部分的な減肉、または、心材11の部分的なエロージョンの発生が抑制される場合もあるので、傾斜角θ1の上限は必ずしも40°とは限らない。 On the other hand, when the inclination angle θ1 is 40 ° or less, the possibility that a large processing is applied to the brazing sheet 10 is reduced. Therefore, it is possible to effectively suppress the possibility that the brazing sheet 10 is partially thinned or the core material 11 is partially eroded. Of course, depending on the structure of the heat exchanger for the air conditioner, even if the inclination angle θ1 exceeds 40 °, the brazing sheet 10 may be partially thinned during press working, or the core material 11 may be partially eroded. Since the occurrence may be suppressed, the upper limit of the inclination angle θ1 is not always 40 °.
 一方、傾斜角θ1の下限も特に限定されず、空気調和装置用熱交換器の構造に応じて好適な下限値を設定すればよい。例えば、後述するプレートフィン積層型熱交換器であれば、構造上、隣接する空気(第2流体)の流路を確保する観点から傾斜角θ1をあまり小さくしない方がよい。プレートフィン積層型熱交換器における傾斜角θ1の下限値としては、好ましくは15°以上を挙げることができ、より好ましくは20°以上を挙げることができる。 On the other hand, the lower limit of the inclination angle θ1 is not particularly limited, and a suitable lower limit value may be set according to the structure of the heat exchanger for the air conditioner. For example, in the case of the plate fin laminated heat exchanger described later, it is better not to make the inclination angle θ1 too small from the viewpoint of securing the flow path of the adjacent air (second fluid) due to the structure. The lower limit of the inclination angle θ1 in the plate fin laminated heat exchanger is preferably 15 ° or more, and more preferably 20 ° or more.
 本開示に係るブレージングシート10が備える心材11は、熱交換器の種類または構造等の諸条件に応じて求められる物性を実現し得る公知のアルミニウム合金であればよい。心材11として用いられるアルミニウム合金としては、例えば、熱交換器の分野では、代表的には、3000系(アルミニウム-マンガン(Al-Mn)系合金)、5000系(アルミニウム-マグネシウム(Al-Mg)系合金)、または6000系(アルミニウム-マグネシウム-シリコン(Al-Mg-Si)系合金)等を挙げることができるが、これらに限定されない。 The core material 11 included in the brazing sheet 10 according to the present disclosure may be a known aluminum alloy that can realize the physical properties required according to various conditions such as the type or structure of the heat exchanger. Examples of the aluminum alloy used as the core material 11 include, in the field of heat exchangers, typically 3000 series (aluminum-manganese (Al-Mn) based alloy) and 5000 series (aluminum-magnesium (Al-Mg)). (Aluminum-based alloy), 6000-based (aluminum-magnesium-silicon (Al-Mg-Si) -based alloy), and the like, but are not limited thereto.
 あるいは、心材11は、前述のアルミニウム合金に対して公知の元素を、不可避的不純物を超える含有量(濃度)で添加してもよい。なお、不可避的不純物として許容される濃度の上限は、諸条件によっても異なるが、例えば、アルミニウム合金全体における0.1質量%未満を挙げることができる。あるいは、不可避的不純物の濃度の上限は、JIS等の公知の規格に規定される合金組成に準じてもよい。 Alternatively, the core material 11 may contain an element known to the above-mentioned aluminum alloy at a content (concentration) exceeding the unavoidable impurities. The upper limit of the concentration allowed as an unavoidable impurity varies depending on various conditions, but for example, less than 0.1% by mass in the entire aluminum alloy can be mentioned. Alternatively, the upper limit of the concentration of unavoidable impurities may conform to the alloy composition defined in a known standard such as JIS.
 ろう材として用いられるアルミニウム合金は、本開示においては、シリコン(ケイ素、Si)を含有するもの、すなわち、アルミニウム-シリコン(Al-Si)系合金であればよい。ろう材におけるSiの含有量は特に限定されず、ろう材として好適な使用が可能な程度の範囲内であればよい。具体的には、例えば、ろう材におけるSiの含有量(濃度)としては、2.5~13質量%の範囲内を挙げることができ、3.5~12質量%の範囲内であってもよい。Siの含有量が少なすぎると、Al-Si系合金がろう材として十分に機能しなくなるおそれがある。一方、Siの含有量が多すぎると、心材11または相手材にSiが拡散してブレージングシート10そのものに溶融が生じるおそれがある。また、ろう材としてのAl-Si系合金には、ろう材としての機能に影響を及ぼさない範囲で、不可避的不純物を超える含有量でSi以外の元素を含有してもよい。 In the present disclosure, the aluminum alloy used as the brazing material may be an alloy containing silicon (silicon, Si), that is, an aluminum-silicon (Al-Si) alloy. The content of Si in the brazing material is not particularly limited, and may be within a range suitable for use as a brazing material. Specifically, for example, the content (concentration) of Si in the brazing material can be in the range of 2.5 to 13% by mass, even if it is in the range of 3.5 to 12% by mass. Good. If the Si content is too low, the Al—Si alloy may not function sufficiently as a brazing material. On the other hand, if the Si content is too high, Si may diffuse into the core material 11 or the mating material and melt the brazing sheet 10 itself. Further, the Al—Si alloy as the brazing material may contain an element other than Si in a content exceeding the unavoidable impurities as long as the function as the brazing material is not affected.
 犠牲陽極材として用いられるアルミニウム合金は、犠牲陽極作用を発揮するために、亜鉛(Zn)を2.0~6.0質量%の範囲内で含有している。また、本開示においては、前述の通り犠牲陽極材がろう材を兼ねているため、ろう材と同様にSiを含有している。犠牲陽極材におけるSiの含有量(Si濃度)は3.0~6.0質量%の範囲内を挙げることができる。したがって、犠牲陽極材として用いられるアルミニウム合金は、アルミニウム-シリコン-亜鉛(Al-Si-Zn)系合金であればよい。 The aluminum alloy used as the sacrificial anode material contains zinc (Zn) in the range of 2.0 to 6.0% by mass in order to exert the sacrificial anode action. Further, in the present disclosure, since the sacrificial anode material also serves as a brazing material as described above, Si is contained in the same manner as the brazing material. The Si content (Si concentration) in the sacrificial anode material can be in the range of 3.0 to 6.0% by mass. Therefore, the aluminum alloy used as the sacrificial anode material may be an aluminum-silicon-zinc (Al-Si-Zn) alloy.
 犠牲陽極材としてのAl-Si-Zn系合金において、Znの含有量(濃度)が2.0質量%未満であれば、良好な犠牲陽極作用を発揮することができない。一方、Znの含有量が6.0質量%を超えると、犠牲陽極作用が早期に進行し過ぎてブレージングシート10から犠牲陽極材層13が早期に消失してしまい、ブレージングシート10の耐食性が低下するおそれがある。 In the Al—Si—Zn-based alloy as the sacrificial anode material, if the Zn content (concentration) is less than 2.0% by mass, a good sacrificial anode action cannot be exhibited. On the other hand, when the Zn content exceeds 6.0% by mass, the sacrificial anode action proceeds too early and the sacrificial anode material layer 13 disappears from the brazing sheet 10 at an early stage, so that the corrosion resistance of the brazing sheet 10 deteriorates. There is a risk of
 また、犠牲陽極材としてのAl-Si-Zn系合金において、Siの含有量が3.0質量%未満であると、Siが少なすぎて当該犠牲陽極材が十分に流動せず、ろう材として良好な接着強度を発揮できなくなるおそれがある。一方、Siの含有量が6.0質量%を超えると、犠牲陽極材としての流動性は向上するものの流動性が高くなり過ぎて耐食性が低下するおそれがある。 Further, in the Al—Si—Zn-based alloy as the sacrificial anode material, if the Si content is less than 3.0% by mass, the amount of Si is too small and the sacrificial anode material does not flow sufficiently, and as a brazing material. There is a risk that good adhesive strength cannot be exhibited. On the other hand, if the Si content exceeds 6.0% by mass, the fluidity as the sacrificial anode material is improved, but the fluidity becomes too high and the corrosion resistance may decrease.
 特に本開示においては、ブレージングシート10は、空気調和装置用熱交換器に用いられる。ここで、ブレージングシート10が冷媒の流路を構成する接合構造20に用いられる場合(後述するプレートフィン積層型熱交換器等)、冷媒の許容圧力の上限に耐え得る程度の接着強度が要求される。なお、この許容圧力は、空気調和装置の種類、用途、性能等の諸条件によって異なるため、犠牲陽極材に求められる接着強度も諸条件に応じて適宜設定することができる。 Particularly in the present disclosure, the brazing sheet 10 is used as a heat exchanger for an air conditioner. Here, when the brazing sheet 10 is used for the bonding structure 20 constituting the flow path of the refrigerant (such as a plate fin laminated heat exchanger described later), the adhesive strength is required to be sufficient to withstand the upper limit of the allowable pressure of the refrigerant. To. Since this allowable pressure varies depending on various conditions such as the type, application, and performance of the air conditioner, the adhesive strength required for the sacrificial anode material can be appropriately set according to the conditions.
 ここで、本開示においては、ブレージングシート10同士の接合時の温度(ろう付け温度)を考慮すると、Siの含有量は、ブレージングシート10の接合構造20において、十分な耐圧性を実現し得る接着強度と十分な耐食性とのバランスが重要となる。この点について本発明者らが鋭意検討した結果、ブレージングシート10の接合時の温度Tが580~660℃の範囲内であるときに、犠牲陽極材におけるSiの特に好適な含有量は、下記式(1)および式(2)により定義することが可能であることが明らかとなった。 Here, in the present disclosure, in consideration of the temperature (brazing temperature) at the time of joining the brazing sheets 10 to each other, the Si content is the adhesion capable of realizing sufficient pressure resistance in the joining structure 20 of the brazing sheets 10. The balance between strength and sufficient corrosion resistance is important. As a result of diligent studies by the present inventors on this point, when the temperature T at the time of joining the brazing sheet 10 is in the range of 580 to 660 ° C., a particularly preferable content of Si in the sacrificial anode material is as follows. It became clear that it can be defined by (1) and Eq. (2).
 具体的には、犠牲陽極材において、Znの含有量(濃度)が2.0~6.0質量%の範囲内であるときに、Siの含有量(濃度)をXSiとすると、このSi濃度、次式(1)から導き出される値以下であり、かつ、次式(2)から導き出される値以上であればよい。
T=660-8×exp(0.3XSi) ・・・(1)
T=580+55×exp(-0.5(XSi-1.7)) ・・・(2)
 なお、犠牲陽極材としてのAl-Si-Zn系合金においても、犠牲陽極作用およびろう材としての機能に影響を及ぼさない範囲で、SiおよびZn以外の元素を、不可避的不純物を超える含有量で含有してもよい。
Specifically, in the sacrificial anode material, when the Zn content (concentration) is in the range of 2.0 to 6.0% by mass and the Si content (concentration) is X Si , this Si The concentration may be equal to or less than the value derived from the following equation (1) and greater than or equal to the value derived from the following equation (2).
T = 660-8 × exp (0.3X Si ) ・ ・ ・ (1)
T = 580 + 55 × exp (-0.5 (X Si -1.7)) ・ ・ ・ (2)
Even in the Al—Si—Zn-based alloy as the sacrificial anode material, the content of elements other than Si and Zn exceeds the unavoidable impurities as long as the sacrificial anode action and the function as the brazing material are not affected. It may be contained.
 ろう材および犠牲陽極材として具体的に用いられるアルミニウム合金の種類は特に限定されないが、代表的には、いずれも4000系(アルミニウム-シリコン(Al-Si)系合金)を用いることができる。犠牲陽極材では、Siの含有量が前述の範囲内に入るような4000系のアルミニウム合金を選択するか、Siを公知の手法で添加することによって前述の範囲内に入るように調整するとともに、Znについても含有量が前述の範囲内となるように、公知の手法でZnを添加すればよい。 The type of aluminum alloy specifically used as the brazing material and the sacrificial anode material is not particularly limited, but typically, 4000 series (aluminum-silicon (Al-Si) based alloy) can be used for both. For the sacrificial anode material, a 4000 series aluminum alloy having a Si content within the above range is selected, or Si is added by a known method to adjust the content so as to fall within the above range. Zn may be added by a known method so that the content of Zn is also within the above range.
 本開示に係るブレージングシート10においては、ろう材および犠牲陽極材のクラッド率は特に限定されず、一般的な範囲内を挙げることができる。一般的なクラッド率としては、例えば、2~30質量%の範囲内を挙げることができ、3~20質量%の範囲内であってもよい。 In the brazing sheet 10 according to the present disclosure, the clad ratio of the brazing material and the sacrificial anode material is not particularly limited, and can be mentioned within a general range. The general clad ratio may be, for example, in the range of 2 to 30% by mass, and may be in the range of 3 to 20% by mass.
 また、本開示に係るブレージングシート10の厚さ、並びに、心材11、ろう材層12、および犠牲陽極材層13のそれぞれの厚さについても特に限定されず、当該ブレージングシート10の構成または製造しようとする熱交換器の種類または部品等に応じて適宜設定することができる。ただし、本開示では、犠牲陽極材層13の厚さは15~25μmの範囲内である。 Further, the thickness of the brazing sheet 10 according to the present disclosure and the thicknesses of the core material 11, the brazing material layer 12, and the sacrificial anode material layer 13 are not particularly limited, and the brazing sheet 10 may be configured or manufactured. It can be appropriately set according to the type or parts of the heat exchanger to be used. However, in the present disclosure, the thickness of the sacrificial anode material layer 13 is in the range of 15 to 25 μm.
 本開示に係るブレージングシート10は、空気調和装置用熱交換器に用いられるため、自動車用に比べて犠牲陽極材層13の厚さをより薄くすることができる。犠牲陽極材層13の厚さを薄くすることができれば、犠牲陽極材の使用量を低減することができるので、ブレージングシート10の製造コストの増加を抑制することが可能になる。 Since the brazing sheet 10 according to the present disclosure is used in a heat exchanger for an air conditioner, the thickness of the sacrificial anode material layer 13 can be made thinner than that for an automobile. If the thickness of the sacrificial anode material layer 13 can be reduced, the amount of the sacrificial anode material used can be reduced, so that an increase in the manufacturing cost of the brazing sheet 10 can be suppressed.
 特に、本開示では、後述するように熱交換器としてプレートフィン積層型を好ましい一例として挙げることができる。プレートフィン積層型熱交換器は、複数のプレートフィンを重ねて積層体とし、この積層体を治具で押さえ付けて接合(ろう付け)する。そのため、犠牲陽極材層13の厚みが大きすぎると積層体の寸法変化が大きくなり、ブレージングシートの接合構造20に影響を及ぼすおそれがある。犠牲陽極材層13を25μm以下とすることができれば、このような接合構造20への影響を有効に抑制することができる。 In particular, in the present disclosure, as will be described later, a plate fin laminated type as a heat exchanger can be mentioned as a preferable example. In the plate fin laminated heat exchanger, a plurality of plate fins are laminated to form a laminated body, and the laminated body is pressed by a jig to join (braze). Therefore, if the thickness of the sacrificial anode material layer 13 is too large, the dimensional change of the laminated body becomes large, which may affect the bonding structure 20 of the brazing sheet. If the sacrificial anode material layer 13 can be set to 25 μm or less, such an influence on the joint structure 20 can be effectively suppressed.
 一方、犠牲陽極材層13が15μm未満であると、ブレージングシート10に対する犠牲陽極材の絶対量が少なくなり過ぎる。そのため、ブレージングシート10から犠牲陽極材層13が早期に消失してしまい、ブレージングシート10の耐食性が低下するおそれがある。 On the other hand, if the sacrificial anode material layer 13 is less than 15 μm, the absolute amount of the sacrificial anode material with respect to the brazing sheet 10 becomes too small. Therefore, the sacrificial anode material layer 13 may disappear from the brazing sheet 10 at an early stage, and the corrosion resistance of the brazing sheet 10 may decrease.
 本開示では、複数枚のブレージングシート10を接合部位10a同士で重ね合わせて、高温(580℃以上)の温度でろう材および犠牲陽極材を溶融させてろう付けすることにより、ブレージングシート10同士が接合される。このようにして製造されるブレージングシート10の接合構造20では、図1Bに示すように、傾斜部位10bの間で接合部位10a(接合部21)に隣接する部位には、接合部位10aの犠牲陽極材層13から流出した犠牲陽極材が固化してフィレット22が形成される。 In the present disclosure, a plurality of brazing sheets 10 are superposed on each other at the joining portions 10a, and the brazing material and the sacrificial anode material are melted and brazed at a high temperature (580 ° C. or higher) to braze the brazing sheets 10 to each other. Be joined. In the joint structure 20 of the brazing sheet 10 manufactured in this manner, as shown in FIG. 1B, the sacrificial anode of the joint portion 10a is located at a portion adjacent to the joint portion 10a (joint portion 21) between the inclined portions 10b. The sacrificial anode material flowing out of the material layer 13 solidifies to form a fillet 22.
 本開示においては、ブレージングシート10の耐食性を評価する観点から、接合部21(フィレット22を含む)、犠牲陽極材層13等の電位を公知の方法で評価(測定)すればよい。代表的な電位の評価方法としては、ポテンショスタット/ガルバノスタットに、電位測定用の試料(例えば、ブレージングシート10、もしくは、心材11、ろう材、犠牲陽極材、フィレット22または接合部21、あるいはこれらを模擬した組成の合金等)と、対極と、参照電極(例えば銀/塩化銀(Ag/AgCl)電極)とを接続して電解液(例えば5重量%の塩化ナトリウム(NaCl)溶液)に浸漬し、試料と参照電極との電位差を測定する方法を挙げることができる。 In the present disclosure, from the viewpoint of evaluating the corrosion resistance of the brazing sheet 10, the potentials of the joint portion 21 (including the fillet 22), the sacrificial anode material layer 13, and the like may be evaluated (measured) by a known method. As a typical method for evaluating an electric potential, a potential measurement sample (for example, a brazing sheet 10 or a core material 11, a brazing material, a sacrificial anode material, a fillet 22 or a joint portion 21, or these) is used in a potential stat / galvanostat. (For example, an alloy having a composition simulating), a counter electrode, and a reference electrode (for example, a silver / silver chloride (Ag / AgCl) electrode) are connected and immersed in an electrolytic solution (for example, a 5 wt% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution). Then, a method of measuring the potential difference between the sample and the reference electrode can be mentioned.
 このような本開示に係るブレージングシート10の製造方法は特に限定されず、公知の製造方法を好適に用いることができる。具体的には、例えば、所望の組成のアルミニウム合金を公知の方法で板状に成形して心材11とし、この心材11の一方の面に対して、Siを含有するアルミニウム合金のろう材を公知の方法でクラッドし、心材11の他方の面に対して、Znを2.0~6.0質量%の範囲内、および、Siを3.0~6.0質量%の範囲内で含有するアルミニウム合金の犠牲陽極材を公知の方法でクラッドすればよい。本開示においては、ブレージングシート10の製造における諸条件は、当該ブレージングシート10の構成または製造しようとする空気調和装置用熱交換器の種類または部品等に応じて適宜設定することができる。 The manufacturing method of the brazing sheet 10 according to the present disclosure is not particularly limited, and a known manufacturing method can be preferably used. Specifically, for example, an aluminum alloy having a desired composition is formed into a plate shape by a known method to obtain a core material 11, and a brazing material of an aluminum alloy containing Si is known for one surface of the core material 11. Clad with the method of, Zn is contained in the range of 2.0 to 6.0% by mass, and Si is contained in the range of 3.0 to 6.0% by mass with respect to the other surface of the core material 11. The sacrificial anode material of the aluminum alloy may be clad by a known method. In the present disclosure, the conditions for manufacturing the brazing sheet 10 can be appropriately set according to the configuration of the brazing sheet 10 or the type or parts of the heat exchanger for the air conditioner to be manufactured.
 本開示に係るブレージングシート10は、前述の通り空気調和装置用熱交換器の製造に特に好適に用いることができる。本開示に係るブレージングシート10を熱交換器に適用した場合に形成されるブレージングシートの接合構造20は、前述したように、図1Bに例示するような構造である。より具体的には、図2に示すような構造を有するプレートフィン積層型熱交換器、あるいは、図4A及び図4Bに示すような構造を有するAir To Waterヒートポンプ用積層型熱交換器等を挙げることができる。 The brazing sheet 10 according to the present disclosure can be particularly suitably used for manufacturing a heat exchanger for an air conditioner as described above. As described above, the joining structure 20 of the brazing sheet formed when the brazing sheet 10 according to the present disclosure is applied to the heat exchanger has a structure as illustrated in FIG. 1B. More specifically, a plate fin laminated heat exchanger having a structure as shown in FIG. 2, an Air To Water laminated heat exchanger having a structure as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, and the like can be mentioned. be able to.
 プレートフィン積層型熱交換器は、図示しないが、第1流体である冷媒が流れる流路を有するプレートフィン積層体において、各プレートフィン積層間に第2流体である空気を流して、これら第1流体と第2流体との間で熱交換を行うものである。この熱交換器が備えるプレートフィンは、第1流体が並行に流れる複数の第1流体流路を有する流路領域と、この流路領域における各第1流体流路に連通するヘッダ流路を有するヘッダ領域と、を備えている。 Although not shown, the plate fin laminated heat exchanger is a plate fin laminated body having a flow path through which a refrigerant, which is a first fluid, flows, and air, which is a second fluid, is flowed between each plate fin laminated body to flow the first fluid. Heat exchange is performed between the fluid and the second fluid. The plate fin included in this heat exchanger has a flow path region having a plurality of first fluid flow paths through which the first fluid flows in parallel, and a header flow path communicating with each first fluid flow path in this flow path region. It has a header area and.
 プレートフィン積層型熱交換器では、プレートフィン積層体の積層方向の両側に、当該プレートフィンと平面視が略同一形状のエンドプレートが設けられており、これら一対のエンドプレートとこれらの間に介在する複数のプレートフィンとは、積層された状態でろう付けにより接合されて一体化している。図2は、このプレートフィン積層体30におけるヘッダ部分の概略構造を部分断面として示しており、図中最上部に位置するエンドプレート31に対して複数のプレートフィン32が積層されている。 In the plate fin laminated heat exchanger, end plates having substantially the same shape as the plate fins in a plan view are provided on both sides of the plate fin laminated body in the laminating direction, and are interposed between these pair of end plates. The plurality of plate fins to be formed are joined and integrated by brazing in a laminated state. FIG. 2 shows a schematic structure of a header portion in the plate fin laminated body 30 as a partial cross section, and a plurality of plate fins 32 are laminated on an end plate 31 located at the uppermost part in the drawing.
 エンドプレート31およびプレートフィン32には、それぞれ開口部が設けられており、これらプレートが積層されてプレートフィン積層体30を形成することにより、ヘッダ開口33が形成される。図2に示す構成では、ヘッダ開口33の外側から図中ブロック矢印で示す方向に第1流体である冷媒が流入し、さらにプレートフィン32の間に冷媒が流入する。各プレートフィン32には、前述の通り、第1流体流路が設けられているので、プレートフィン32の間に流入した冷媒は、第1流体流路を流れる。また、第2流体である空気は、プレートフィン32の間に形成される空間を、冷媒の流れる方向(第1流体流路の方向)に交差するように流れる。これにより、空気が冷媒により冷却される。 An opening is provided in each of the end plate 31 and the plate fin 32, and the header opening 33 is formed by laminating these plates to form the plate fin laminated body 30. In the configuration shown in FIG. 2, the refrigerant, which is the first fluid, flows in from the outside of the header opening 33 in the direction indicated by the block arrow in the drawing, and further flows in between the plate fins 32. As described above, each plate fin 32 is provided with the first fluid flow path, so that the refrigerant flowing between the plate fins 32 flows through the first fluid flow path. Further, the air, which is the second fluid, flows in the space formed between the plate fins 32 so as to intersect the direction in which the refrigerant flows (the direction of the first fluid flow path). As a result, the air is cooled by the refrigerant.

It is described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2018-066534, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2018-066535, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2018-066536, etc. It shall be a part of the description of the specification.
 Air To Waterヒートポンプ用積層型熱交換器を構成するプレートフィン積層体34は、図3に示すように、その基本構成は、図2に示す一般的なプレートフィン積層型熱交換器のプレートフィン積層体30と同様である。ただし、プレートフィン積層体34を構成するプレートフィン35(本開示に係るブレージングシート10)は、その両面に犠牲陽極材層13を有する構成となっている。そのため、図3に示すように、フィレット22は、ヘッダ開口33側(内側)に位置する接合部21だけでなく、ヘッダ開口33側とは反対側(外側)に位置する接合部21にも形成されている。なお、図3に示す構成は、プレートフィン35およびフィレット22の形成位置以外は図2に示す構成と同様であるので、その説明を省略する。 As shown in FIG. 3, the plate fin laminate 34 constituting the laminated heat exchanger for Air To Water heat pump has a basic configuration of the plate fin laminate of the general plate fin laminated heat exchanger shown in FIG. Similar to body 30. However, the plate fins 35 (brazing sheet 10 according to the present disclosure) constituting the plate fin laminate 34 have a sacrificial anode material layer 13 on both sides thereof. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the fillet 22 is formed not only at the joint portion 21 located on the header opening 33 side (inside) but also at the joint portion 21 located on the opposite side (outside) of the header opening 33 side. Has been done. Since the configuration shown in FIG. 3 is the same as the configuration shown in FIG. 2 except for the formation positions of the plate fins 35 and the fillets 22, the description thereof will be omitted.
 このように、本開示に係るブレージングシートは、空気調和装置の熱交換器に用いられるものであって、アルミニウム合金製の心材と、当該心材の一方の面に被覆され、シリコン(Si)を含有するアルミニウム合金のろう材層と、当該心材の他方の面に被覆され、亜鉛(Zn)およびシリコン(Si)を含有するアルミニウム合金の犠牲陽極材層と、を備えるものであるか、あるいは、心材の両方の面に犠牲陽極材層が被覆されたものである。 As described above, the brazing sheet according to the present disclosure is used for a heat exchanger of an air conditioner, and is coated on one surface of an aluminum alloy core material and the core material and contains silicon (Si). An aluminum alloy brazing material layer and a sacrificial anode material layer of an aluminum alloy coated on the other surface of the core material and containing zinc (Zn) and silicon (Si), or a core material. A sacrificial anode material layer is coated on both surfaces of the above.
 さらに、本開示に係るブレージングシートでは、犠牲陽極材層の厚さが15~25μmの範囲内であり、ブレージングシートの接合時の温度Tが580~660℃の範囲内であるときに、犠牲陽極材におけるシリコンの含有量XSiは前述の式(1)から導き出される値以下であり、かつ、前述の式(2)から導き出される値以上である。これにより、ろう材を兼ねる犠牲陽極材において、亜鉛の含有量だけでなくシリコンの含有量を好適化することができる。そのため、犠牲陽極材層の厚さが前述の範囲内であっても、ブレージングシートの接合構造における耐食性および耐圧性を両立させることが可能になる。 Further, in the brazing sheet according to the present disclosure, when the thickness of the sacrificial anode material layer is in the range of 15 to 25 μm and the temperature T at the time of joining the brazing sheet is in the range of 580 to 660 ° C., the sacrificial anode is used. The silicon content X Si in the material is less than or equal to the value derived from the above formula (1) and greater than or equal to the value derived from the above formula (2). Thereby, in the sacrificial anode material which also serves as a brazing material, not only the zinc content but also the silicon content can be optimized. Therefore, even if the thickness of the sacrificial anode material layer is within the above range, it is possible to achieve both corrosion resistance and pressure resistance in the bonding structure of the brazing sheet.
