  • Patent number: 4908184
    Abstract: A high strength, corrosion-resistant alloy for brazing is disclosed, which alloy comprises 0.2-1.0 wt % of Cu, 0.1-0.5 wt % of Mg, 0.2-1.0 wt % of Si, and the balance of Al and inevitably present impurities. The weight ratio of Si/Mg is in the range of 1-2.5:1. The alloy may further comprise 0.03-0.5 wt % of Ni and/or one or more of Zr, Cr and Mn each in an amount of 0.05-0.5 wt %.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 5, 1988
    Date of Patent: March 13, 1990

  • Patent number: 4560625
    Abstract: Aluminum alloy composite materials for brazed heat exchangers are described, which comprise an Al core alloy essentially consisting of predetermined amounts of Si, Mg, Cu and at least one element selected from Mn, Cr and Zr, the balance being Al and inevitable impurities, and an Al alloy clad layer formed on one side of the core alloy which is in contact with an aqueous heat transfer medium. The clad layer has a thickness 3-20% based on the thickness of the composite material and a less-noble corrosion potential of 20-100 mV than the core alloy. A filler alloy may be formed on the other side of the core alloy.
