Aluminum alloy fin material, aluminum alloy brazing sheet, and heat exchanger

Abstract

An aluminum alloy fin material includes an aluminum alloy containing 1.50 to 5.00 mass % Si with the balance of Al and inevitable impurities, and has the function of being bonded by heating with a single layer. Assuming that in a cross section along the thickness direction of the fin material, the equivalent circle diameter of a Si particle is represented by D, a distance from a surface layer to the center of the Si particle is represented by L, the thickness of the fin material is represented by t, and a length parallel to the surface layer is represented by W, all Si particles that are present in the range of the length W and satisfy D≥L and L+D>0.04 t also satisfy 0≤ΣπD2<0.08 tW. An aluminum alloy brazing sheet includes, as a skin material, the fin material that is clad on a core material including an aluminum alloy. A heat exchanger includes the fin material or the brazing sheet that is used in a fin.
