  • Patent number: 8404360
    Abstract: Provided are a side member from which a clad member for heat exchanger exhibiting excellent productivity and corrosion resistance while preventing poor adhesion can be produced in production of a clad member for heat exchanger by controlling the surface state and flatness, a method for producing the side member, and a method for producing a clad member for a heat exchanger by using the side member. A side member (A) consists of a core material and one or more layers of side member (A) applied onto one side or both sides thereof and being used in a clad member for a heat exchanger, wherein a plurality of periodic forms (B) of fine groove which become arcuate toward one direction of the side member (A) is formed on the surface of the side member (A).

  • Patent number: 8381797
    Abstract: Skin material of a clad material is composed of one or more layers, each layer of the skin materials is made of a metal different from the core material in their component compositions, and at least one layer of the skin material has a cast microstructure, when the skin material is superposed on either of one or both faces of the core material.

  • Patent number: 8210237
    Abstract: Equipment for manufacturing skin material of a clad material includes a casting apparatus which melts and mixes a metal for the skin material different from the core material in their component compositions, and casts the skin material; an ingot-cutting apparatus which cuts an ingot for skin material which is cast by the casting apparatus; and a conveying apparatus which conveys the ingot for skin material among each apparatus. The ingot-cutting apparatus is a slicing apparatus which slices the ingot for skin material into a predetermined thickness.

  • Patent number: 8191609
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a clad material composed of a core material and one or more skin materials which are superposed on either one or both faces of the core material, includes a clad material preparation process where an ingot for core material is manufactured by dissolving and casting a metal, and an ingot for skin material is manufactured by dissolving and casting a different metal for skin material, without hot rolling. The ingot for skin material is superposed as a skin material at a predetermined position of either one or both faces of the ingot for core material and the superposed material is hot-rolled to manufacture a clad material.
