Abstract

A core material for an aluminum alloy clad material contains Si in a content of 0.3% to 1.5% (hereinafter “%” means “percent by mass”), Mn in a content of 0.3% to 2.0%, Cu in a content of 0.3% to 1.5%, Ti in a content of 0.01% to 0.5%, and B in a content of 0.001% to 0.1%, with the remainder including Al and inevitable impurities. The core material and an aluminum alloy clad material using the same ensure sufficient corrosion resistance and give a product having an extended life.

Claims (30)

1. An aluminum alloy clad material comprising:

a layer of the core material; and

a filler material layer clad on one or both sides of the core material layer,

wherein the filler material contains an Al—Si alloy, a Zn alloy, or a Sn alloy, and

wherein the core material consists of:

silicon (Si) in a content of 0.3 to 1.5 percent by mass,

manganese (Mn) in a content of 0.3 to 2.0 percent by mass,

copper (Cu) in a content of 0.3 to 1.5 percent by mass,

titanium (Ti) in a content of 0.01 to 0.5 percent by mass,

boron (B) in a content of 0.001 to 0.1 percent by mass, and

calcium (Ca) in a content of 1.0 percent by mass or less (excluding 0%)

with the remainder including aluminum (Al) and inevitable impurities.

2. An automobile heat exchanger comprising the aluminum alloy clad material according to claim 1 .

3. An automobile brazed radiator tube comprising the aluminum alloy clad material as clamed in claim 1 .

4. An aluminum alloy clad material comprising

a layer of the core material;

a filler material layer clad on one side of the core material layer; and

a sacrificial material layer clad on the other side of the core material layer,

wherein the filler material contains an Al—Si alloy, a Zn alloy, or a Sn alloy, and

wherein the sacrificial material contains an Al—Zn alloy, and

wherein the core material consists of:

silicon (Si) in a content of 0.3 to 1.5 percent by mass,

manganese (Mn) in a content of 0.3 to 2.0 percent by mass,

copper (Cu) in a content of 0.3 to 1.5 percent by mass,

titanium (Ti) in a content of 0.01 to 0.5 percent by mass,

boron (B) in a content of 0.001 to 0.1 percent by mass, and

calcium (Ca) in a content of 1.0 percent by mass or less (excluding 0%)

with the remainder including aluminum (Al) and inevitable impurities.

5. An automobile heat exchanger comprising the aluminum alloy clad material according to claim 4 .

6. An automobile brazed radiator tube comprising the aluminum alloy clad material as clamed in claim 4 .
