Patent number: 10156000Abstract: A corrosion resistant strip is disclosed. The strip comprises a core, and an interlayer adapted to be located between the core and an optional Al—Si based clad. The interlayer has a composition essentially consisting of (in percentages by weight): Si?0.9%, Fe?0.7%, Cu?0.5%, Mn 0.5-1.8%, Mg?0.7%, Zn?4.0%, Ni?1.5%, elements selected from group IVb, Vb, and/or VIb of the periodic table ?0.3% each and ?0.5% in total ?0.05 wt % each and ?0.15% in total, of unavoidable impurity elements, balance Al. The core is more noble than the interlayer after brazing. The interlayer exhibits a volume fraction of a texture component of at least 30%.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2013Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: Gränges Sweden ABInventors: Anders Oskarsson, Scott Haller, Bevis Hutchinson

Patent number: 10131970Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing AlMn strip or sheet for making components by brazing, as well as the products obtained by said method. In particular this method is related to fin materials used in heat exchangers. The fins can be delivered with or without a cladding depending on application. Rolling slabs are produced from a melt which contains 0.3-1.5% Si, ?0.5% Fe, ?0.3% Cu, 1.0-2.0% Mn, ?0.5% Mg, ?4.0% Zn, ?0.3% each of elements from group IVb, Vb, or VIb elements, and unavoidable impurity elements, as well as aluminum as the remainder in which the rolling slabs prior to hot rolling are preheated at a preheating temperature of less than 550° C., preferably between 400 and 520° C., more preferably between 450 and 520° C. to control the number and size of dispersoid particles, and the preheated rolling slab is hot rolled into a hot strip. The strip is thereafter cold rolled into a strip with a total reduction of at least 90%, and the cold rolled strip is heat treated to obtain a 0.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2007Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: Gränges Sweden ABInventors: Anders Oskarsson, Hans-Erik Ekström, Richard Westergård, Stian Tangen

Patent number: 9714799Abstract: Method for producing AIMn strip or sheet for making components by brazing and products obtained by said method, in particular fin materials of thin gauge used in heat exchangers. Rolling slabs are produced from a melt with <0.3% Si, ?0.5% Fe, ?0.3% Cu, 1.0-2.0% Mn, ?0.5% Mg, ?4.0% Zn, ?0.5% Ni, ?0.3% each of group IVb, Vb, or Vib elements, and unavoidable impurity elements, as well as aluminum that, prior to hot rolling, are preheated at <550° C. to control the number and size of dispersoid particles, hot rolled into a hot strip, cold rolled into a strip with total reduction of at least 90%, and heat treated to obtain a 0.2% proof stress value that is 50-90% of its proof stress value in the as cold rolled condition and in a range between 100 and 200 MPa. The strip may alternatively be produced by twin-roll strip casting.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2013Date of Patent: July 25, 2017Assignee: Gränges Sweden ABInventor: Anders Oskarsson
