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.

Abstract: This invention relates to a wrought aluminum alloy, to its use for making semifinished and finished products and to processes of improving the properties, particularly the strength properties, of semifinished and finished products made of that alloy.The efforts to improve the properties of aluminum alloys are often successful but restrict the field of application of the material; this is undesirable in view of the need to save raw materials and energy. For this reason a wrought aluminum alloy is desired which has a very wide field of application and which can be made to have properties in a wide range, possibly as a result of a processing under different conditions. The manufacture and recycling of such alloy should not involve special difficulties and the alloy should require only unproblematic alloying elements which are conventionally used with aluminum.
