  • Patent number: 5102033
    Abstract: The fillet-forming ability of brazeable aluminum alloy materials, such as brazing sheet or heat exchanger components, for example fins, tubes and headers, is significantly improved by treating the material, prior to brazing, with an aqueous acid solution containing a dilute mixture of HF and HNO.sub.3. The treatment generally takes place for a period of not less than 5 seconds within the temperature range from about 15 to about 98.degree. C.

  • Patent number: 4586964
    Abstract: A novel process for producing aluminum composite sheet products for roll forming and vacuum brazing is disclosed, which provides an unexpected improvement in the corrosion resistance of the brazed product. According to the process, a composite sheet is annealed to a strain-free state after having been rolled to a thickness which is a critical amount greater than the thickness ultimately sought. Following the annealing step, the sheet is cold worked to the desired thickness, the degree of reduction in this final step being within a critical range which provides the improvement in corrosion resistance to the final product after vacuum brazing.
