  • Publication number: 20230078028
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an aluminium material for the manufacture of high-strength, soldered components, including an aluminium alloy. After soldering, the aluminium material is in materially-bonded contact with at least one solder layer. The object of providing an aluminium material is to provide not only good soldering properties and formability, but also high strength. This is achieved because the aluminium alloy of the aluminium material has a solidus temperature, and the aluminium material has an increase in yield strength compared to the state after soldering and cooling.
