  • Patent number: 11780034
    Abstract: A brazing sheet (1) includes a core material (11) composed of an Al alloy that contains 0.20-3.0 mass % of Mg; and a filler material (12) layered on the core material and composed of an Al alloy that contains Mg, 6.0-13.0 mass % of Si, and more than 0.050 mass % and 1.0 mass % or less of Bi. The Mg concentration of the filler material becomes continuously lower in a direction from a boundary (122) with the core material to an outermost surface (121). The Mg concentration of the filler material is 0.150 mass % or less at a first depth from the outermost surface that is ? of a thickness (tf) of the filler material and is 5-90% of the amount of Mg in the core material at a second depth from the outermost surface that is ? of the thickness of the filler material.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11772205
    Abstract: A brazing sheet (1) includes a core material (11) composed of an Al alloy containing 0.40-2.50 mass % Mg; and a filler material (12) composed of an Al alloy containing Mg, 6.0-13.0 mass % Si, and 0.010-0.050 mass % Bi. The filler material is layered on a side of the core material and is exposed at an outermost surface (121). The Mg concentration in the filler material continuously decreases in a direction from a boundary (122) with the core material toward the outermost surface. The Mg concentration (c1/8) is 0.080 mass % or less at a depth (position P1/8) from the outermost surface that is ? of the thickness tf of the filler material (12). The Mg concentration (c7/8) is 15-45% of the amount of Mg in the core material at a depth (position P7/8) from the outermost surface that is ? of the thickness tf of the filler material.
