Abstract

A clad material includes a core material, a first skin material covering one side of the core material, and a second skin material covering the other side of the core material. The clad material is brazed in a state in which the first and second skin materials overlap each other. The core material is made of an Al alloy containing Mn (0.6 to 1.5 mass %), Ti (0.05 to 0.25 mass %), Cu (less than 0.05 mass %), Zn (less than 0.05 mass %), Fe (0.2 mass % or less), and Si (0.45 mass % or less) (balance: Al and unavoidable impurities). The first skin material is made of an Al alloy containing Si (6.8 to 11.0 mass %) and Zn (0.05 mass % or less) (balance: Al and unavoidable impurities). The second skin material is made of an Al alloy containing Si (4.0 to 6.0 mass %) and Cu (0.5 to 1.0 mass %) (balance: Al and unavoidable impurities).

Claims (6)

1. A clad material comprising:

a core material including a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface in a thickness direction of the core material, the core material being made of an Al alloy including Mn in an amount of 0.6 to 1.5 mass %, Ti in an amount of 0.05 to 0.25 mass %, Cu in an amount less than 0.05 mass %, Zn in an amount less than 0.05 mass %, Fe in an amount of 0.2 mass % or less, Si in an amount of 0.45 mass % or less, and Al;

a first skin material directly provided on the first surface of the core material and made of an Al alloy including Si in an amount of 6.8 to 11.0 mass %, Zn in an amount of 0.05 mass % or less, and Al, the first skin material serving as a brazing material; and

a second skin material directly provided on the second surface of the core material and made of an Al alloy including Si in an amount of 4.0 to 6.0 mass %, Cu in an amount of 0.5 to 1.0 mass %, and Al.

2. The clad material according to claim 1 , wherein the second skin material does not include Zn.

3. The clad material according to claim 1 , wherein the core material includes a first end and a second end opposite to the first end in a direction along which the first surface and the second surface extend, the first end is brazed to the second end such that the first skin material contacts the second skin material.
