Abstract

A method for brazing aluminum alloy-assembled articles with a filler alloy having a liquidus temperature of 540° C. or lower and a difference of temperature between the liquidus temperature and the solidus temperature being 100° C. or lower, wherein the highest temperature reached in the assembled article at the time of heating for brazing being set 40° C. or more higher than the liquidus temperature but 585° C. or lower. An aluminum alloy-filler alloy usable at low temperature for brazing, which comprises Si in an amount of 4.0 wt % to 8.0 wt %, Zn in an amount of 7.0 wt % to 20.0 wt % and Cu in an amount of 10.0 wt % to 35.0 wt %, with the balance being made of aluminum.

Claims (3)

1. A method for brazing aluminum alloy-assembled articles within a short period of time, wherein an Al alloy having a liquidus temperature of 540° C. or lower and a difference of temperature between the liquidus and the solidus temperature being 100° C. or lower and containing approximately 6.0 wt % of Si, 25.0 wt % of Cu, and 5.0 wt % of Zn is used as the filler alloy, wherein the highest temperature reached in the assembled articles at the time of heating for brazing is set 40° C. or more higher than the liquidus temperature but 585° C. or lower.

2. A method for brazing aluminum alloy-assembled articles within a short period of time, which comprises brazing aluminum alloy-assembled articles with a filler alloy of Al—Si—Cu—Zn series having a liquidus temperature of 540° C. or lower and a difference of temperature between the liquidus and the solidus temperature being 100° C. or lower, wherein the highest temperature reached in the assembled articles at the time of heating for brazing is set 40° C. or more higher than the liquidus temperature but 585° C. or lower, wherein the filler alloy is usable at low temperature for brazing, and comprises Si in an amount of 4.0 wt % or more but less than 8.0 wt %, Zn in an amount of 7.0 wt % or more but 20.0 wt % or less and Cu in an amount of 10.0 wt % or more but 35.0 wt % or less, with the balance being made of aluminum and any unavoidable impurities.

3. A method for brazing aluminum alloy-assembled articles within a short period of time, which comprises brazing aluminum alloy-assembled articles with a filler alloy of Al—Si—Cu—Zn series having a liquidus temperature of 540° C. or lower and a difference of temperature between the liquidus and the solidus temperature being 100° C. or lower, wherein the highest temperature reached in the assembled articles at the time of heating for brazing is set 40° C. or more higher than the liquidus temperature but 585° C. or lower, wherein the filler alloy is usable at low temperature for brazing, and comprises Si in an amount of 5.0 wt % or more but less than 7.0 wt %, Zn in an amount of 9.0 wt % or more but 20.0 wt % or less and Cu in an amount of 19.0 wt % or more but 27.0 wt % or less, with the balance being made of aluminum and any unavoidable impurities.
