  • Patent number: 7004374
    Abstract: A process of making a shaped product consisting of aluminium or an aluminium alloy comprising the steps of producing an intermediate object by extrusion or rolling and having at least one flat surface, coating the at least one flat surface with a brazing flux retaining coating which is composed of flux particles and a binder containing at least 10% by weight of a synthetic resin based, as its main constituent, on methacrylate homopolymer or a methacrylate copolymer, reshaping of the intermediate object into the shaped product and heating the shaped product to a temperature sufficient to provide at least one brazed connection between defined parts of the shaped products.

  • Publication number: 20040035916
    Abstract: A process of brazing an end portion of a heat exchanger tube to a manifold, and a tube therefor comprising at least one fluid passage having an opening in the end portion. The process involves depositing a stop-off containing coating on at least part of the end portion of the tube, assembling the tube to the manifold by inserting the end portion of the tube through an opening in a wall of the manifold, and then brazing the tube to the manifold wall. The coating inhibits brazing material from entering the opening of the tube fluid passage.
