Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、アルミニウム材をろう付けするためのろう材粉末および該ろう材粉末を用いるアルミニウム材のろう付け方法、とくに、カーエアコンのコンデンサ、エバポレータ、ラジエータ、ヒーターコア、オイルクーラ、インタークーラなどの自動車用アルミニウム合金製熱交換器をろう付けにより製造する場合に好適に使用されるろう材粉末および該ろう材粉末を用いるアルミニウム材のろう付け方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
最近、自動車用アルミニウム合金製熱交換器の組み立ては、フッ化物系のフラックスを用いる不活性ガス雰囲気ろう付けによる方法が主流となっており、ろう材についても、Al−Si系合金材をクラッドしてなるブレージングシートに代わって、各種の混合粉末を用いたフラックスおよび/またはろう材が提案されている。
【0003】
例えば、米国特許第5190596号明細書には、Si粉末とフッ化物系のフラックスを混合し、ろう付け加熱中に、Si粉末をアルミニウム母材と反応させてAl−Siろう材を形成させてろう付けする方法が提案されている。この方法においては、比較的小さなフィレットの形成で十分に接合し得る部分には有効に適用できるが、基本的には、アルミニウムは母材を溶融させてフィレットを確保するものであるため、十分な接合のために大きなフィレットが必要な部位には、Si粉末を多量に付着させなければならず、接合部分でのアルミニウム母材の浸食量が大きくなるという問題点がある。
【0004】
特許第2881289号公報には、ヘキサフルオロ珪酸カリウム(K2 SiF6 )とフッ化アルミニウム(AlF3 )の混合粉末を用い、フッ化物系のフラックスとAl−Siろう材を形成させる方法が提案されているが、この方法も前記の米国特許の方法と同様、アルミニウム母材との反応を利用するもので、十分な接合のために大きなフィレットが必要な部位の接合には不向きであるという問題があり、フラックスに対するSiの比率が低いため、多量の混合粉末を必要とするという難点もある。
【0005】
DE19913111Aには、アルミニウムのろう付け用フラックスとして、フルオロ亜鉛酸アルカリ塩を含有してなり、広い温度域で溶融するため、広溶融域のろう材に対して有効なフラックスが提案されているが、このフラックスは、ろう材として作用することはできない。フルオロ亜鉛酸アルカリ塩がろう材として作用し得るとの記載もみられる(WO01/38040A1号公報)が、発明者らによる検討によれば、必ずしも十分な作用を示すものとは認められない。
【0006】
一方、近年、アルミニウム合金製熱交換器の薄肉化が進み、高耐食性、とくに耐孔食性を得るために、アルミニウムブレージングシートのAl−Si系ろう材層にZnを含有させることにより孔食抑制用の犠牲陽極層を形成する手法が行われているが、Al−Si系ろう材にZnを含有させた場合、伸びが低下するため、ブレージングシートの圧延製造時に歩留りの低下、場合によってはろう材と芯材とが圧着できないという問題がある。
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、アルミニウム材の不活性ガス雰囲気ろう付けにおいて、ブレージングシートに代わって使用されるフッ化物系のフラックスとろう材とからなる混合粉末における上記従来の問題点を解消するために、混合粉末の組成および配合率、粉末の粒径、その他の特性とろう付け性、耐食性との関係についてさらに試験、検討を重ねた結果としてなされたものであり、その目的は、接合部位に必要に応じて十分な大きさのフィレットを確保して接合性を高めることができるとともに、複雑な継ぎ手に対しても改善されたろう材充填性能を達成することができ、ろう付け可能温度域が広く、熱容量が著しく異なる複雑な構成のアルミニウム部品のろう付けが可能で、且つ優れた耐食性を付与することを可能とし、とくに、アルミニウム合金製熱交換器のろう付け製造において好適に使用できるろう材粉末、および該ろう材粉末を用いたアルミニウム材のろう付け方法を提供することにある。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記の目的を達成するための本発明の請求項1によるアルミニウム材をろう付けするためのろう材粉末は、MX Zny Z 系化合物粉末にAl含有粉末を混合してなることを特徴とする。但し、Mはアルカリ金属、x、y、zは正の整数である。
【0009】
請求項2によるろう材粉末は、請求項1において、前記ろう材粉末中のMX Zny Z 系化合物粉末とAl含有粉末との比率が95:5〜30:70であることを特徴とする。
【0010】
請求項3によるろう材粉末は、請求項1または2において、前記MX Zny Z 系化合物粉末の平均粒径が30μm以下、Al含有粉末の最大粒径が100μm以下であることを特徴とする。
【0011】
請求項4によるろう材粉末は、請求項1〜3のいずれかにおいて、前記MX Zny Z 系化合物がKZnF3 であることを特徴とする。
【0012】
請求項5によるろう材粉末は、請求項1〜4のいずれかに記載のろう材粉末に、Si粉末またはAl−Si合金粉末を混合してなることを特徴とする。
【0013】
また、本発明の請求項6によるアルミニウム材のろう付け方法は、請求項1〜5のいずれかに記載のろう材粉末をバインダおよび溶剤と混合してアルミニウム材に付着させ、該アルミニウム材に接合すべき他のアルミニウム材を組み付けて加熱、ろう付けすることを特徴とする。
【0014】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明のろう材粉末は、MX Zny Z 系化合物粉末(Mはアルカリ金属、x、y、zは正の整数)にAl含有粉末を混合してなることを特徴とする。Al含有粉末とは、純アルミニウム粉末、Al−Si合金などのAl合金粉末である。アルミニウム材としてブレージングシートを用いて継ぎ手を形成し、MX Zny Z 系化合物を付着させた場合、アルミニウム材の表面にZnが検出され、アルミニウム材の深さ方向にはZnの拡散層が形成しているのが認められる。しかしながら、継ぎ手の接合は行われず、MX Zny Z 系化合物の付着量を増やしてもアルミニウム材(ブレージングシート)のろう材の溶融は認められない。これは、MX Zny Z 系化合物粉末とアルミニウム材との反応が接触部分のみで生じているためで、付着した粉末の上部は反応していないことが見出された。
【0015】
X Zny Z 系化合物粉末にAl含有粉末を混合したろう材粉末を前記継ぎ手部に付着させて、ろう付け温度に加熱した場合には、MX Zny Z 系化合物粉末とアルミニウム材とが接触部で反応して、Ma AlFb 系化合物(1種以上)となり、Znが析出し、このZnがアルミニウム材の内部に拡散してZn拡散層を形成する。MX Zny Z 系化合物粉末とアルミニウム材との未接触部においても、MX Zny Z 系化合物粉末がAl含有粉末と反応してMa AlFb 系化合物(1種以上)とZnとに分離し、温度が上昇すると、溶融したMa AlFb 系化合物(1種以上)がフラックスとしてアルミニウム材の表面を覆い、ろう材を溶融させ、ろう材上に析出したZnの一部はAl−Si系ろう材をAl−Si−Znの共晶温度で溶融させるから、さらにろう材の流動性が向上する。
【0016】
アルミニウム材としてブレージングシートを用いず、例えば、Al−Mn系などのアルミニウム材を用いて継ぎ手を形成し、MX Zny Z 系化合物を付着させた場合でも、適量の化合物粉末を適用した場合には、アルミニウム材と反応して析出したZnがAlと結合して、溶融Al−Znを形成し、ろう材として作用する。Al含有粉末がAl−Si系合金の場合、Al含有粉末としてSi粉末やAl−Si合金粉末を混合したものを使用した場合には、Al−Si、Al−Si−Znがろう材として作用する。
【0017】
ろう材粉末中のMX Zny Z 系化合物とAlとの比率が95:5〜30:70であることが好ましく、MX Zny Z 系化合物粉末の平均粒径が30μm以下、Al粉末の最大粒径が100μm以下であることが好ましい。
【0018】
ろう材粉末中のMX Zny Z 系化合物とAlとの比率が95:5よりもMX Zny Z 系化合物が過剰に存在すると、ろう付け加熱中に化合物がAlと十分に反応せず、未溶融残査が残り易くなる。MX Zny Z 系化合物とAlとの比率が30:70よりもAl含有粉末が過剰に存在すると、Al含有粉末と析出したZnとが十分に反応せず、未溶融残査が残り易くなる。
【0019】
X Zny Z 系化合物粉末の平均粒径が30μmを越えると、Al含有粉末と接触していない化合物粒の粒径中心部で反応が促進されず未溶融残査が残り易く、また、Al含有粉末の最大粒径が100μmを越えると、ろう付け温度に到達する間にZnがAl中に十分に拡散せず、液相を越える合金組成を形成し難くなり、一部溶融しない場合もある。
【0020】
ろう材粉末には、Si粉末またはAl−Si合金粉末を混合することができ、SiはAlと共晶を形成して、溶融を速め、流動性を高める。また、MX Zny Z 系化合物がKZnF3 の場合には、フィレット面積がより大きくなり、継ぎ手部への充填性を向上させることができる。
【0021】
本発明のろう材粉末を用いるアルミニウム材のろう付けは、前記のろう材粉末をバインダおよび溶剤と混合してアルミニウム材に付着させ、このアルミニウム材に接合すべき他のアルミニウム材を組み付けて加熱、ろう付けすることによって行われる。バインダとしては、ろう付け性を阻害しない樹脂系のバインダが好ましく、溶剤としては、有機溶剤など公知のものが適用できる。
【0022】
【実施例】
以下、本発明の実施例を比較例と対比して説明する。これらの実施例は、本発明の好ましい一実施態様を示すものであり、本発明はこれらに限定されるものではない。

【0026】
表2にみられるように、本発明に従う試験材No.1〜12はいずれも、560℃および600℃の温度への加熱で、十分なフィレット面積および充填長さが得られ、腐食試験においても3003合金圧延板1を貫通する孔食を生じることがなく、優れた耐食性を示した。試験材No.13〜15はAl粉末の混合量が低く、試験材No.16は化合物粉末の混合量が低く、試験材No.17およびNo.18は、それぞれ化合物の平均粒径およびAl粉末の最大粒径が大きいため、いずれも試験材No.1〜12に比べ、ろう付け特性において、やや劣る結果を示した。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a brazing material powder for brazing an aluminum material and a method of brazing an aluminum material using the brazing material powder, and particularly to a condenser for a car air conditioner, an evaporator, a radiator, a heater core, an oil cooler, an intercooler, and the like. The present invention relates to a brazing filler metal powder suitably used when a heat exchanger made of an aluminum alloy for automobiles is manufactured by brazing, and a brazing method of aluminum using the brazing filler metal powder.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Recently, the method of assembling a heat exchanger made of an aluminum alloy for automobiles is mainly based on a method of brazing with an inert gas atmosphere using a flux of fluoride, and the brazing material is also clad with an Al-Si alloy material. Fluxes and / or brazing materials using various mixed powders have been proposed in place of brazing sheets.
[0003]
For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,190,596 discloses a method in which Si powder and a fluoride-based flux are mixed, and the Si powder reacts with an aluminum base material during brazing heating to form an Al-Si brazing material. A method of attaching is proposed. In this method, it can be effectively applied to a portion that can be sufficiently joined by forming a relatively small fillet, but basically, aluminum is a material that melts a base material to secure a fillet. A large amount of Si powder must be adhered to a portion where a large fillet is required for joining, and there is a problem that the amount of erosion of the aluminum base material at the joining portion increases.
[0004]
Japanese Patent No. 2881289 proposes a method of forming a fluoride-based flux and an Al-Si brazing material using a mixed powder of potassium hexafluorosilicate (K 2 SiF 6 ) and aluminum fluoride (AlF 3 ). However, this method, like the method of the above-mentioned U.S. Patent, utilizes a reaction with an aluminum base material, and has a problem that it is unsuitable for joining a portion that requires a large fillet for sufficient joining. In addition, since the ratio of Si to the flux is low, there is a disadvantage that a large amount of mixed powder is required.
[0005]
DE19913111A proposes an effective flux for a brazing filler metal in a wide melting range, which contains an alkali salt of fluorozincate as a flux for brazing aluminum and melts in a wide temperature range. This flux cannot act as a brazing filler metal. There is also a description that an alkali fluorozinc acid salt can act as a brazing material (WO 01/38040 A1), but according to the studies by the inventors, it is not always recognized that they exhibit a sufficient effect.
[0006]
On the other hand, in recent years, the thickness of aluminum alloy heat exchangers has been reduced, and in order to obtain high corrosion resistance, particularly pitting resistance, the aluminum brazing sheet contains Zn in the Al-Si brazing material layer to suppress pitting corrosion. However, when Zn is contained in an Al-Si brazing material, the elongation is reduced, so that the yield decreases during rolling production of the brazing sheet, and in some cases, the brazing material is used. There is a problem that the core material cannot be press-bonded.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems in a mixed powder composed of a fluoride-based flux and a brazing filler used in place of a brazing sheet in brazing an inert gas atmosphere of an aluminum material. The composition and compounding ratio of the powder, the particle size of the powder, the relationship between other properties and brazing properties, corrosion resistance, were made as a result of repeated examinations and examinations, and the purpose was A sufficiently large fillet can be secured to improve the jointability.Also, improved brazing material filling performance can be achieved for complex joints, and the brazing temperature range is wide and the heat capacity is remarkable. It is possible to braze aluminum parts of different complicated configurations and to provide excellent corrosion resistance, Braze powder can be suitably used in brazing the manufacture of exchanger, and to provide a method of brazing an aluminum material using the brazing material powder.
[0008]

[0009]

[0010]

[0012]

[0013]
Further, according to a method of brazing an aluminum material according to claim 6 of the present invention, the brazing material powder according to any one of claims 1 to 5 is mixed with a binder and a solvent to adhere to the aluminum material, and is bonded to the aluminum material. It is characterized in that other aluminum materials to be assembled are assembled and heated and brazed.
[0014]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Brazing material powder of the present invention, M X Zn y F Z compound powder (M is an alkali metal, x, y, z are positive integers), characterized by comprising a mixture of Al-containing powder. The Al-containing powder is an Al alloy powder such as a pure aluminum powder and an Al-Si alloy. Joint is formed by using a brazing sheet as the aluminum material, when adhered with M X Zn y F Z compound, Zn is detected on the surface of the aluminum material, the diffusion layer of Zn in the depth direction of the aluminum material Forming is observed. However, joining of the joint is not performed, M X Zn y F melt the brazing material of the Z-series aluminum material also increase the deposition amount of the compound (brazing sheet) is not allowed. This is because the reaction between M X Zn y F Z based compound powder and an aluminum material occurs only at the contact portion, the deposited top of the powder was found to not react.
[0015]
And a brazing material powder obtained by mixing Al-containing powder M X Zn y F Z based compound powder adhered to the joint portion, when heated to the brazing temperature, M X Zn y F Z based compound powder and an aluminum material DOO reacts at the contact portion, M a AlF b based compound (s) and, Zn is precipitated, the Zn is diffused into the aluminum material forming the Zn diffusion layer. M X Zn y F even in non-contact portion between the Z-based compound powder and an aluminum material, M X Zn y F Z compound powder M a AlF b compound reacts with Al-containing powder (s) and Zn separating the bets, when the temperature rises, it covers the surface of the aluminum material M a AlF b compound melted (s) as a flux to melt the brazing material, a part of Zn deposited on the brazing material Since the Al-Si brazing material is melted at the eutectic temperature of Al-Si-Zn, the fluidity of the brazing material is further improved.
[0016]
Without using the brazing sheet as the aluminum material, for example, joint is formed by using an aluminum material, such as Al-Mn system, even when depositing the M X Zn y F Z compounds, when applied an appropriate amount of the compound powder , Zn precipitated by reacting with the aluminum material is combined with Al to form molten Al-Zn and acts as a brazing material. When the Al-containing powder is an Al-Si-based alloy, and when a mixture of Si powder and Al-Si alloy powder is used as the Al-containing powder, Al-Si or Al-Si-Zn acts as a brazing filler metal. .
[0017]
Ratio of M X Zn y F Z compound and Al in the brazing material powder 95: 5-30: is preferably 70, M X Zn y F average particle size of Z-based compound powder is 30μm or less, Al It is preferable that the maximum particle size of the powder is 100 μm or less.
[0018]
Ratio of M X Zn y F Z compound and Al in the brazing material powder 95: When M X Zn y F Z compound than 5 are present in excess, sufficient reactive compound during brazing heating and Al Without this, unmelted residue tends to remain.
