  • Patent number: 10501124
    Abstract: A vehicle front structure includes a front side member extending in a vehicle front-rear direction in a front portion of a vehicle body, an upper side member disposed above the front side member in a vehicle and extending in the vehicle front-rear direction, and a suspension tower joined to the front side member and the upper side member. The suspension tower is made of aluminum alloy integrally formed by press working. The vehicle front structure is capable of being reduced in weight and being more easily manufactured without introducing new equipment.

  • Patent number: 9869463
    Abstract: A heat sink includes a base, to which an LED element is attached, and a plate-shaped heat dissipating surface integrally and continuously formed with the base around the LED element. The base and the plate-shaped heat dissipating surface are formed of aluminum or an aluminum alloy having a specific thermal conductivity ? and a specific surface emissivity ?. When the plate thickness of the base and the plate-shaped heat dissipating surface is specified in a range from 0.8 to 6 mm, a total projected area of the heat dissipating surfaces of the heat sink is specified in a range from 19000 to 60000 mm2 so as to obtain a heat resistance of 4.0 K/W or smaller. Projected areas of two plate-shaped heat dissipating surfaces of the heat sink in two different directions are sufficiently increased with respect to corresponding sectional areas of the base.

  • Patent number: 9751143
    Abstract: An aluminum alloy brazing sheet for heat exchangers has a core, a sacrificial material formed on one side of the core, and a brazing filler metal formed on the other side of the core. The core is made of an aluminum alloy containing Si, Cu, Mn, and Al. The sacrificial material is made of an aluminum alloy containing Si, Zn, Mg, and Al. The brazing filler metal is made of an aluminum alloy. The aluminum alloy brazing sheet for heat exchangers has a work hardening exponent n of not less than 0.05. The core has an average crystal grain size of not more than 10 ?m in a cross-section. The aluminum alloy brazing sheet for heat exchangers has excellent strength and corrosion resistance even when it is formed into a thin material and also has excellent high frequency weldability and weld cracking resistance during electric resistance welding.
