  • Patent number: 11945052
    Abstract: The present invention provides a brazing material application method that can stably discharge a brazing material containing a fluoride-based flux over a long period of time. The brazing material application method of the present invention includes: a supply step of supplying a liquid brazing material containing a fluoride-based flux to a liquid chamber of a discharge apparatus that is configured to have the liquid chamber having a discharge channel, a plunger disposed in the liquid chamber movably forward and backward, and a drive device for moving the plunger forward and backward and to satisfy a predetermined relationship; and an application step of discharging the brazing material in the liquid chamber from the discharge channel by moving the plunger toward the discharge channel of the liquid chamber by the drive device, and applying the brazing material to a metal member.

  • Publication number: 20170205159
    Abstract: A heat-exchanger tube has a tube main body composed of an aluminum alloy. A coating is applied onto a surface of the tube main body. The coating contains a powder mixture—which includes: 1 g/m2 or more and 7 g/m2 or less of an Si powder, 0.2 g/m2 or more and 4.0 g/m2 or less of a Zn powder, 0.5 g/m2 or more and 5.0 g/m2 or less of a first flux powder composed of a compound that contains Zn, and 5 g/m2 or more and 20 g/m2 or less of a second flux powder composed of a compound that does not contain Zn—and a binder. The total amount of the powder mixture in the coating is 30 g/m2 or less. The proportion of the binder in the coating is 5-40 mass %.
