Description
本発明は、例えばカーエアコン用コンデンサ、エバポレータ、オイルクーラー、ラジエータなどのアルミニウム製熱交換器の耐食性向上方法、特に粒界腐食の発生を低減させる方法に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a method for improving the corrosion resistance of aluminum heat exchangers such as condensers for car air conditioners, evaporators, oil coolers, and radiators, and more particularly to a method for reducing the occurrence of intergranular corrosion.
アルミニウム合金は軽量で熱伝導性に優れること、適切処理により高耐食性が実現できること、およびブレージングシートを利用したろう付けで効率的な接合が可能であることから、自動車用などの熱交換器用材料として重用されている。近年、自動車の高性能化あるいは環境対応として、より軽量で高い耐久性を持つよう熱交換器の性能向上が求められている。 Aluminum alloy is lightweight and has excellent thermal conductivity, high corrosion resistance can be realized by appropriate treatment, and brazing using a brazing sheet enables efficient joining. It is heavily used. In recent years, there has been a demand for improving the performance of heat exchangers so as to have lighter weight and higher durability in order to improve the performance of automobiles or to cope with the environment.
一般に、ろう付に使用される熱交換器用アルミニウム合金の心材には、Al−Mn系合金が使用され、ろう材には、Al−Si系合金が使用され、腐食環境になる箇所には、犠牲防食材として、Al−Zn系合金もしくは、Al−Si−Zn系合金が使用されている。
近年の自動車用熱交換器の軽量・薄肉化の要求に応えつつ、強度を向上させる方法として、心材に用いるアルミニウム合金に、材料強度の向上に寄与する元素、すなわち強化元素を添加して、アルミニウム合金の強度を高める試みがなされている。ここで、アルミニウム合金における強化元素としては、Si、Cu、Mn、Si、Fe、Ti等種々のものがあるが、固溶強化による強度向上に寄与するSi、Cu、Mnが用いられることが多い。しかし、これらの元素は、ろう付加熱時の冷却中に粒界に優先析出し、粒界近傍に固溶元素の欠乏領域を形成し、粒界腐食が発生する場合がある。
Generally, an Al-Mn alloy is used for the core material of the aluminum alloy for heat exchangers used for brazing, and an Al-Si alloy is used for the brazing material. As the anticorrosive material, an Al—Zn alloy or an Al—Si—Zn alloy is used.
As a method for improving strength while meeting the demand for lighter and thinner automotive heat exchangers in recent years, an element that contributes to improving material strength, that is, a strengthening element, is added to the aluminum alloy used for the core material, and aluminum Attempts have been made to increase the strength of the alloy. Here, there are various elements such as Si, Cu, Mn, Si, Fe, and Ti as reinforcing elements in the aluminum alloy, but Si, Cu, and Mn that contribute to strength improvement by solid solution strengthening are often used. . However, these elements may preferentially precipitate at the grain boundaries during cooling during brazing addition heat, forming a solid solution element deficient region in the vicinity of the grain boundaries, and intergranular corrosion may occur.
粒界腐食に対する耐食性を向上させるために、ろう付加熱後に熱処理を加える手法が提案されている。特許文献1には、Mnを含むアルミニウム合金からなる芯材の表面に、Al−Si系ろう材が用いられた製品の製造方法として、ろう付け作業の後、100〜400℃の温度で15分以上の熱処理を行なうものであり、この技術によれば、電位を下げるZnなどの元素を添加せずに、実質的に犠牲防食が可能となる。 In order to improve the corrosion resistance against intergranular corrosion, a method of applying heat treatment after brazing heat has been proposed. In Patent Document 1, as a method of manufacturing a product in which an Al—Si brazing material is used on the surface of a core material made of an aluminum alloy containing Mn, a brazing operation is performed at a temperature of 100 to 400 ° C. for 15 minutes. The above heat treatment is performed, and according to this technique, sacrificial corrosion can be substantially prevented without adding an element such as Zn that lowers the potential.
また、熱処理によってMn固溶量を制御し、耐食性を向上させる手法も提案されている。特許文献2には、Siを0.05〜0.6%、Feを0.05〜0.7%、Cuを0.04〜0.2%、Mnを0.6〜1.0%、Mgを0.01〜0.15%、Znを0.1〜3.0%含有し、残部がAlと不可避不純物からなるアルミニウム合金鋳塊に熱間押出および抽伸加工をこの順に施して素管とし、次いで前記素管に450〜550℃で1〜10時間の最終焼鈍処理を施すことを特徴とする耐食性に優れる熱交換器用アルミニウム合金配管材の製造方法が開示されている。 In addition, a method for improving the corrosion resistance by controlling the solid solution amount of Mn by heat treatment has been proposed. In Patent Literature 2, Si is 0.05 to 0.6%, Fe is 0.05 to 0.7%, Cu is 0.04 to 0.2%, Mn is 0.6 to 1.0%, An aluminum alloy ingot containing 0.01 to 0.15% Mg and 0.1 to 3.0% Zn, with the balance being Al and inevitable impurities, subjected to hot extrusion and drawing in this order, Then, a method for producing an aluminum alloy piping material for heat exchangers having excellent corrosion resistance is disclosed, in which the base tube is subjected to a final annealing treatment at 450 to 550 ° C. for 1 to 10 hours.
しかし、これらの手法では、特にSiに起因する粒界腐食を抑制することはできず、耐食性向上の手法として不十分である。
本発明は、以上の事情を背景としてなされたもので、ろう付け加熱後に高い耐食性を有するアルミニウム製熱交換器およびその製造方法を提供することを目的とするものである。 The present invention has been made against the background described above, and an object of the present invention is to provide an aluminum heat exchanger having high corrosion resistance after brazing heating and a method for manufacturing the same.
前述のような課題を解決すべく本発明者らがアルミニウム製熱交換器の耐食性、導電率および強度と、合金成分組成および熱処理との関係について詳細に実験・検討を重ねた結果、心材合金へのSi、MnおよびCuの添加量を適切に調整するとともに、熱処理を制御することによって、十分に耐食性を向上させることができることを見出した。本発明はこの知見に基づきなされた。 In order to solve the problems as described above, the present inventors have conducted detailed experiments and examinations on the relationship between the corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity and strength of the aluminum heat exchanger, the alloy composition and the heat treatment. It was found that the corrosion resistance can be sufficiently improved by appropriately adjusting the amount of Si, Mn and Cu added and controlling the heat treatment. The present invention has been made based on this finding.

本発明は、アルミニウム製熱交換器の耐食性、特に粒界腐食の発生を抑制する効果がある。 The present invention has an effect of suppressing the corrosion resistance of an aluminum heat exchanger, particularly the occurrence of intergranular corrosion.
以下、本発明で数値を限定する理由について説明する。
本発明において、アルミニウム製熱交換器の通路部材の導電率が、ろう付加熱後の導電率よりも2%IACS以上高いと規定したのは、導電率の変化が2%IACSより小さい場合にはSi系化合物の粒内析出が十分でなく、粒界腐食の起こる可能性があるためである。つまり、ろう付加熱時の冷却過程において、過飽和に固溶したSiは、例えば熱交換器の使用サイクルによる熱履歴等の入熱によってSi系化合物として析出する。Si系化合物の析出は、拡散係数の大きい粒界に優先的に起こり、粒界近傍にはSiの欠乏領域が形成される。Si欠乏領域は、周囲の粒内よりも孔食電位が卑であるため、欠乏領域が優先的に溶解することで粒界腐食の発生する可能性がある。このことを抑制するためには、粒界だけでなく、粒内にも十分にSi系化合物を析出させ、粒内のSi固溶量をSi欠乏層と同程度まで低下させ、孔食電位を卑化させることが必要である。Si析出量は、導電率と負の相関があり、導電率からSi析出量を推定できる。
Hereinafter, the reason why the numerical values are limited in the present invention will be described.
In the present invention, it is defined that the conductivity of the passage member of the aluminum heat exchanger is 2% IACS or more higher than the conductivity after brazing addition heat when the change in conductivity is smaller than 2% IACS. This is because the intragranular precipitation of the Si-based compound is not sufficient and there is a possibility that intergranular corrosion occurs. That is, in the cooling process at the time of brazing addition heat, Si dissolved in supersaturation is precipitated as a Si-based compound by heat input such as a heat history due to a use cycle of a heat exchanger, for example. Precipitation of Si compounds occurs preferentially at grain boundaries having a large diffusion coefficient, and a Si-deficient region is formed in the vicinity of the grain boundaries. Since the pitting potential is lower in the Si-deficient region than in the surrounding grains, there is a possibility that intergranular corrosion may occur due to the preferential dissolution of the deficient region. In order to suppress this, the Si-based compound is sufficiently precipitated not only at the grain boundaries but also within the grains, the amount of Si solid solution in the grains is reduced to the same level as the Si-deficient layer, and the pitting potential is reduced. It is necessary to deceive. The Si precipitation amount has a negative correlation with the conductivity, and the Si precipitation amount can be estimated from the conductivity.
本発明における、アルミニウム製熱交換器の通路部材のアルミニウム合金中のSiは、0.4〜1.6mass%含有される。Siは、マトリックスに固溶したり、Si系化合物を生成したりすることによって、強度を向上させる元素である。このSi添加の効果を得るためには、0.4mass%以上のSiの含有が必要であり、より好ましくは0.6mass%以上のSiとする。一方、過剰にSiが含有されれば、合金の融点を低下させてろう付時に材料の溶融を招いてしまう。この過剰なSiの含有による悪影響を回避するためには、Si量の上限は1.6mass%とする必要がある。 In the present invention, Si in the aluminum alloy of the passage member of the aluminum heat exchanger is contained in an amount of 0.4 to 1.6 mass%. Si is an element that improves the strength by forming a solid solution in a matrix or generating a Si-based compound. In order to obtain the effect of this Si addition, it is necessary to contain 0.4 mass% or more of Si, and more preferably 0.6 mass% or more of Si. On the other hand, if Si is contained excessively, the melting point of the alloy is lowered and the material is melted during brazing. In order to avoid the adverse effect due to the excessive Si content, the upper limit of the Si amount needs to be 1.6 mass%.
本発明において、アルミニウム製熱交換器の通路部材のアルミニウム合金中のCuは、0.05〜0.5mass%含有されても良い。Cuは、マトリックスに固溶したり、Cu系化合物を生成したりすることによって、強度を向上させる元素である。このCu添加の効果を得るためには、0.05mass%以上のCuの含有が好ましい。一方、Cu系化合物も粒界に優先析出し、粒界腐食を発生させる可能性があり、Cu量の上限は0.5mass%とするのが好ましい。 In the present invention, Cu in the aluminum alloy of the passage member of the aluminum heat exchanger may be contained in an amount of 0.05 to 0.5 mass%. Cu is an element that improves the strength by forming a solid solution in the matrix or forming a Cu-based compound. In order to obtain the effect of Cu addition, it is preferable to contain 0.05 mass% or more of Cu. On the other hand, Cu-based compounds also preferentially precipitate at the grain boundaries and may cause grain boundary corrosion, and the upper limit of the Cu content is preferably 0.5 mass%.
本発明において、アルミニウム製熱交換器の通路部材のアルミニウム合金中のMnは、0.5〜1.5mass%含有されても良い。Mnは、Al−Mn系金属間化合物として晶出又は析出して、強度の向上に寄与する。また、Al−Mn系金属間化合物は、Feを取り込むために、不可避不純物であるFeによる耐食性阻害効果を抑制する働きもある。これらの効果を得るためには、0.5mass%以上のMnを添加するのが好ましく、より好ましくは0.8mass%以上のMnを添加する。但し、Mn量が1.5mass%を超えれば、巨大な金属間化合物が晶出し、製造性を阻害するおそれがあり、したがって、Mn量の上限は1.5mass%をとするのが望ましい。 In the present invention, Mn in the aluminum alloy of the passage member of the aluminum heat exchanger may be contained in an amount of 0.5 to 1.5 mass%. Mn crystallizes or precipitates as an Al—Mn intermetallic compound and contributes to the improvement of strength. In addition, since the Al—Mn intermetallic compound takes in Fe, it also has a function of suppressing the corrosion resistance-inhibiting effect by Fe, which is an inevitable impurity. In order to obtain these effects, it is preferable to add 0.5 mass% or more of Mn, and more preferably 0.8 mass% or more of Mn. However, if the amount of Mn exceeds 1.5 mass%, a huge intermetallic compound may be crystallized, which may impair manufacturability. Therefore, the upper limit of the amount of Mn is desirably set to 1.5 mass%.
本発明において、アルミニウム製熱交換器の通路部材のアルミニウム合金中のMgは、0.05〜0.5mass%含有されても良い。Mgは、Si存在下で、Mg2Siとして析出し、強度の向上に寄与する。この効果を得るためには、0.05mass%以上のMgを添加するのが好ましい。Mg2Siは、非常に溶解しやすい金属間化合物で、過剰なMg添加で耐食性を劣化させる影響が大きくなる。したがって、Mg量の上限は0.5mass%とするのが望ましい。 In the present invention, Mg in the aluminum alloy of the passage member of the aluminum heat exchanger may be contained in an amount of 0.05 to 0.5 mass%. Mg precipitates as Mg 2 Si in the presence of Si and contributes to the improvement of strength. In order to obtain this effect, 0.05 mass% or more of Mg is preferably added. Mg 2 Si is an intermetallic compound that is very easy to dissolve, and the effect of deteriorating the corrosion resistance by adding excessive Mg increases. Therefore, it is desirable that the upper limit of the Mg amount is 0.5 mass%.
本発明において、アルミニウム製熱交換器の通路部材のアルミニウム合金中の不純物としてのFeは0.4mass%以下に制限されるのが望ましい。Feは、Siとともに不純物元素として含有される。Feが含有されると、Feを含む金属間化合物が晶出する。腐食環境において、表面に露出した金属間化合物は、Alの腐食速度を速めてしまう。この過剰なFeの含有による悪影響を回避するためには、不純物としてのFe量は0.4mass%以下に制限することが望ましい。 In the present invention, Fe as an impurity in the aluminum alloy of the passage member of the aluminum heat exchanger is desirably limited to 0.4 mass% or less. Fe is contained as an impurity element together with Si. When Fe is contained, an intermetallic compound containing Fe is crystallized. In a corrosive environment, intermetallic compounds exposed on the surface increase the corrosion rate of Al. In order to avoid this adverse effect due to the excessive Fe content, it is desirable to limit the amount of Fe as an impurity to 0.4 mass% or less.
本発明における、アルミニウム製熱交換器の通路部材のアルミニウム合金には、それぞれ0.2mass%以下のTi、Cr、Zrを含有しても良い。 In the present invention, the aluminum alloy of the passage member of the aluminum heat exchanger may contain 0.2 mass% or less of Ti, Cr, and Zr, respectively.
前記アルミニウム合金成分の残部は、Al及び不可避不純物とすればよく、不可避的不純物はそれぞれが0.05mass%以下で、かつ合計で0.15mass%以下であることが好ましい。 The balance of the aluminum alloy component may be Al and inevitable impurities, and the inevitable impurities are each preferably 0.05 mass% or less and a total of 0.15 mass% or less.
本発明において、アルミニウム製熱交換器の通路部材のアルミニウム合金材の片面、もしくは両面に、Al−Si系ろう材、もしくはAl−Zn系皮材のいずれか、もしくは両方がクラッドされても良い。Al−Si系ろう材の成分は任意に決定でき、例えば、Siを3〜12mass%含有し、犠牲防食作用を付与するために1〜4mass%のZnを含有させても良い。Al−Zn系皮材も任意に決定でき、例えば、1〜4mass%のZnを含有したものが好適である。 In the present invention, either one or both of an Al—Si brazing material and an Al—Zn base material may be clad on one side or both sides of the aluminum alloy material of the passage member of the aluminum heat exchanger. The component of the Al—Si brazing material can be arbitrarily determined. For example, Si may be contained in an amount of 3 to 12 mass%, and Zn may be contained in an amount of 1 to 4 mass% in order to provide a sacrificial anticorrosive action. An Al—Zn-based skin material can also be arbitrarily determined, and for example, a material containing 1 to 4 mass% of Zn is suitable.
本発明のアルミニウム製熱交換器の通路部材のアルミニウム合金複合材を製造するにあたっては、まず構成要素となる素材をそれぞれ通常の半連続鋳造法で鋳造する。これらは、適宜、面削や予備熱間圧延などで厚さを調整して組み合わせた後、熱間圧延によりクラッド接合される。続いて、冷間圧延および必要に応じて焼鈍を含む工程で所定の板厚および加工調質状態とする。 In manufacturing the aluminum alloy composite material of the passage member of the aluminum heat exchanger according to the present invention, first, the raw materials as the constituent elements are each cast by a normal semi-continuous casting method. These are suitably combined by adjusting the thickness by chamfering or preliminary hot rolling, and then clad-joined by hot rolling. Then, it is set as a predetermined | prescribed plate | board thickness and process tempered state by the process including cold rolling and annealing as needed.
本発明において、アルミニウム製熱交換器を製造する際のろう付に関しての雰囲気や加熱温度、時間等の条件については特に限定されるものではなく、また、ろう付方法も特に限定されない。なお、一般的なろう付け条件としては、フラックスを使用し、窒素ガス雰囲気中で温度600℃で3min保持し、その後、50〜200℃/minで冷却する条件が挙げられる。ろう付加熱後、205〜305℃の温度に曝される加熱処理を受け、かつその加熱処理が(1)の不等式を満たす条件で行われて製造されることが望ましい。ろう付加熱の冷却中に、アルミニウム合金中に過飽和にSiが固溶する。この後に加熱処理を行うことで、粒内および粒界に十分にSi系化合物を析出させ、粒界腐食の発生しないアルミニウム製熱交換器とすることが狙いである。温度が205℃よりも小さい場合には、化合物の析出速度が遅いため、加熱処理時間が長くなってしまい、温度が305℃よりも大きい場合には、化合物の成長が速いため、適切な組織状態を得ることが困難になる。

式(1)のXはSi系化合物の成長度と正の相関性を持ち、これが1以下では、Si系化合物の粒内析出が十分でなく、粒界腐食の起こる可能性があり、2以上では、効果が飽和してしまい不経済なため、式(1)の如く範囲を規定した。式(1)のt1〜t9は、加熱処理中に205〜305℃で10℃ごとに区切った各温度範囲にアルミニウム合金材があった時間を示している。高温の温度範囲にある場合、短時間でもXが増加し、すなわちSi系化合物が増えるのに対し、低温の温度範囲では同様の状態になるには長時間を要する。また、アルミニウム合金材のSi添加量が多いほど、Xが大きくなり、すなわちSi系化合物の分布が増えることと対応する。式の係数は種々の実験結果をもとに演繹的に決定したものであり、その一部は後の実施例に含まれる。
In the present invention, conditions such as atmosphere, heating temperature, and time for brazing when producing an aluminum heat exchanger are not particularly limited, and the brazing method is not particularly limited. In addition, as general brazing conditions, the conditions which use a flux, hold | maintain for 3 minutes at the temperature of 600 degreeC in nitrogen gas atmosphere, and cool at 50-200 degreeC / min after that are mentioned. After the brazing heat, it is desirable that the heat treatment be performed at a temperature of 205 to 305 ° C., and that the heat treatment be performed under conditions satisfying the inequality (1). During the cooling of the brazing heat, Si is supersaturated in the aluminum alloy. The aim is to obtain an aluminum heat exchanger that does not cause intergranular corrosion by sufficiently heat-treating the Si-based compound in the grains and at the grain boundaries. When the temperature is lower than 205 ° C., the deposition rate of the compound is slow, so that the heat treatment time becomes longer. When the temperature is higher than 305 ° C., the compound grows faster, so that an appropriate structure state is obtained. It becomes difficult to get.

X in the formula (1) has a positive correlation with the growth degree of the Si-based compound, and when this is 1 or less, the intra-granular precipitation of the Si-based compound is insufficient, and there is a possibility that intergranular corrosion occurs. Then, since the effect is saturated and it is uneconomical, the range is defined as shown in Equation (1). In the formula (1), t 1 to t 9 indicate the time during which the aluminum alloy material was present in each temperature range divided by 10 ° C. at 205 to 305 ° C. during the heat treatment. In the high temperature range, X increases even in a short time, that is, Si-based compounds increase, whereas in the low temperature range, it takes a long time to achieve the same state. Further, as the amount of Si added to the aluminum alloy material increases, X increases, that is, the distribution of Si-based compounds increases. The coefficients of the formula are determined a priori based on various experimental results, and some of them are included in later examples.
