Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a shaped product by means of brazing. The method includes the steps of: producing an intermediate object of metal by rolling or extrusion and having at least one flat surface, coating the at least one surface with a brazing composition comprising a resin, a wax, and a flux and/or flux-producing compound, reshaping the intermediate object into a shaped product, and heating the shaped product to a temperature sufficient to provide at least one brazed connection between defined parts of the shaped product. When a brazing composition is used in this method, it is not necessary to use an additional lubricant during deforming.

Abstract: A method of making a wrought aluminium-magnesium alloy rolled product, having a composition (in wt. %) of: 3.1<Mg<4.5; 0.4<Mn<0.85; 0.4<Zn<0.8; 0.06<Cu<0.35; 0.06<Cr<0.2; Fe<0.35; Si<0.2; Zr<0.05; Ti<0.3; impurities?0.05 each up to a total of max. 0.15, and balance aluminium.

Abstract: An aluminium alloy wrought product having high strength and high fracture toughness and high resistance to intergranular corrosion. The alloy including in weight %: Cu 4.1-5.5%; Mg 0.30-1.6%; Mn 0.15-0.8%; Ti 0.03-0.4%; Cr 0.05-0.4%; Ag<0.7%; Zr<0.2%; Fe<0.20%, preferably <0.15%, more preferably <0.1%; Si<0.20%, preferably <0.15%, more preferably <0.1%; and the balance being aluminium and other impurities or incidental elements each <0.05%, total <0.15%.

Abstract: The present invention a high strength aluminium alloy brazing sheet, comprising an Al—Zn core layer and at least one clad layer, the core layer including the following composition (in weight percent): Zn 1.2 to 5.5 Mg 0.8 to 3.0 Mn 0.1 to 1.0 Cu <0.2 Si ?<0.35 Fe <0.5 optionally one or more of: Zr <0.3 Cr <0.3 V <0.3 Ti <0.2 Hf <0.3 Sc <0.5, the balance aluminium and incidental elements and impurities. The clad layer includes an Al—Si based filler alloy and is applied on at least one side of the core layer. The invention relates furthermore to a brazed assembly including such brazing sheet, to the use of such brazing sheet and to method for producing an aluminium alloy brazing sheet.

Abstract: A method of recycling metallic coated scrap pieces wherein the coating layer liquidus temperature is lower than the core layer solidus temperature, such as brazing sheet scrap pieces, or metallic coated scrap pieces wherein the upper part of the melting range of the coating layer overlaps the lower part of the melting range of the core layer, by at least partially removing the coating layer from the core layer of the scrap pieces making use of a heat resistant metallurgical vessel having an opening for introducing the scrap pieces into the vessel and an exit for discharging essentially molten alloy. The vessel being rotatable around an axis of rotation.
