  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20190047092
    Abstract: The invention relates to an aluminium composite material having at least one core layer of an aluminium core alloy and at least one corrosion protection layer arranged on the core layer. The aluminium composite material has improved corrosion resistance, in particular avoids coarse detachments under corrosive conditions, through use of a corrosion protection layer with the following composition in wt %: Si?0.10%, Fe?0.6%, Cu?0.2%, 0.9%?Mn?1.2%, Mg?0.10%, Cr?0.3%, Zn?0.1%, Ti?0.1%, the rest Al and unavoidable impurities, individually at most 0.05%, in total at most 0.15%. The invention furthermore relates to a method for producing an aluminium composite material, a use as well as a heat exchanger or a component of a heat exchanger.
