Abstract
The present invention provides an aluminum alloy material which is used as a core material for an aluminum alloy brazing sheet and has superior strength at a high temperature. The aluminum alloy material of the present invention is used as a core material C1 for an aluminum alloy brazing sheet B31 (or B32) which has a filler alloy F formed on at least one side of the core material C1. The aluminum alloy material contains more than 2.5% by mass and 3.5% by mass or less of Cu, and the balance being made of aluminum and unavoidable impurities.
Claims6
An aluminum alloy brazing sheet having a core material of an aluminum alloy material and a filler alloy formed on at least one side of the core material, the aluminum alloy material of the core material comprising:
- more than 2.5% by mass and 3.5% by mass or less of Cu,
- aluminum,
- less than 0.05% by mass of Mn, and
- unavoidable impurities;
- the filler alloy comprising any one of an Al-Si-based alloy, an Al-Si-Zn-based alloy, an Al-Si-Mg-based alloy and an Al-Si-Mg-Bi-based alloy;
- wherein the aluminum alloy brazing sheet has a tensile strength at 200° C. of 145 MPa or more after brazing heating at 590° C. for 2 minutes followed by holding at 200° C. for 300 hours.
