Performance advantages of aluminum brazing plate in heat exchanger

  • Heat transfer rate: good thermal conductivity to dissipate heat
  • Corrosion resistance performance: cannot be corroded by refrigerant or coolant
  • Strength: high strength,
  • Weight: as light as possible,
  • Anti-sag performance: no high-temperature buckling during brazing

Supplier of brazing aluminum plate: Chalco Aluminum

We manufacture the core material and brazing metal combination products from numerous available alloys. The products are the most suitable for the using environment and customer requirement.

We are developing the aluminum material to form the welding joints with high reliability by adjusting the alloy setting of blazing filler metal, the cladding rate, the interface diffusion and flow control caused by the metal composition of core material.

In order to provide heat exchanger with high corrosion resistance, the compatibility with brazing counterpart (fin material or tube) shall also be considered, and the alloy design, metal composition and optimum tempering of core material shall be processed.

We are able to provide full range of aluminum brazing sheet for heat exchangers, composite fins, composite plates, composite strips, tube blanks and various weld tubes.

Common function of brazing aluminum sheet alloy elements

Brazed Aluminum Sheet Application in Automotive Industry (14)

The function of Mn Aluminum alloy with Mn as the main alloy element cannot be strengthened by heating, and it has good corrosion resistance. It can also be called antirust aluminum. It has good welding performance and good plasticity.

Brazed Aluminum Sheet Application in Automotive Industry (15)

The function of Zn The corrosion potential of this kind of alloy is reduced. The more Zn is added, the more potential is reduced. The heatsink after punching is first corroded as an anode to protect the media channel. Reduce the strength of the oxide film on the alloy surface, the surface will be easy to peel off and completely corroded, so as to inhibit corrosive pitting. However, if the content of Zn is too high, it may accelerate the corrosion of the heatsink, which will cause the heatsink to lose its cooling effect and reduce its service life.

Brazed Aluminum Sheet Application in Automotive Industry (16)

The function of Si The lowest melting point of Al-Si alloy can be 577 ℃ near eutectic point, which is its advantage as brazing material. After recombination, the Si element will diffuse to the matrix alloy due to the gradient of concentration, forming [Al (MnFe) Si] anode strip, which makes the corrosion preferentially occur on the sub surface layer of the matrix.
Si can change the fluidity of solder, make the material uniform and fine, and improve the brazing quality.

Brazed Aluminum Sheet Application in Automotive Industry (17)

The function of Mg Mg in the cladding layer is an activator and getter to ensure the quality of vacuum brazing, but it has a certain impact on the corrosion resistance of composite plates.
