  • Patent number: 11149696
    Abstract: A gas tube for an EGR cooler has such a structure that a metal plate having a flat plate shape is bent in a tube shape. The metal plate includes a core material, a sheath material clad on one surface of the core material or on both surfaces thereof, and an intermediate material clad between the core material and the sheath material so as to prevent magnesium from diffusing from the core material to the sheath material. The core material includes copper (Cu), silicon (Si), iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), titanium (Ti), and aluminum (Al).

  • Publication number: 20200031097
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an aluminum alloy material for a gas tube included in an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system. More specifically, the present invention relates to an aluminum alloy material for a gas tube, the an aluminum alloy material including: a core material; an outer material cladded onto a single surface or opposite surfaces of the core material; and an intermediate material cladded between the core material and the outer material to prevent magnesium from diffusing into the outer material from the core material, wherein the core material includes copper (Cu), silicon (Si), iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), titanium (Ti), and aluminum (Al). According to the present invention, the aluminum alloy material for a gas tube in an EGR cooler is excellent in strength and corrosion resistance, thereby extending the life span of gas tube even under extreme conditions.
