  • Patent number: 8298357
    Abstract: The present invention provides a high-strength aluminum alloy extruded product exhibiting excellent corrosion resistance and secondary workability and suitably used as a structural material for transportation equipment such as automobiles, railroad vehicles, and aircrafts, and a method of manufacturing the same. The aluminum alloy extruded product has a composition containing 0.6 to 1.2% of Si, 0.8 to 1.3% of Mg, and 1.3 to 2.1% of Cu while satisfying the following conditional expressions (1), (2), (3) and (4), 3%?Si %+Mg %+Cu %?4%??(1) Mg %?1.7×Si %??(2) Mg %+Si %?2.7%??(3) Cu %/2?Mg %?(Cu %/2)+0.6%??(4) and further containing 0.04 to 0.35% of Cr, and 0.05% or less of Mn as an impurity, with the balance being aluminum and unavoidable impurities. The cross section of the extruded product has a recrystallized structure with an average grain size of 500 ?m or less.

  • Publication number: 20090126916
    Abstract: A protect structure, of a heat exchanger for a motor vehicle, includes a core part of the heat exchanger and a protect member. The core part has a plurality of tubes and fins that are alternately arranged with each other, and the protect member is provided at a front side of the core part. The protect member has a plurality of protecting portions extending in a longitudinal direction of the tubes to cover front sides of the tubes of the core part and avoid a collision between the core part and an attack object that is flown from an oblique front side of the motor vehicle toward the core part.
