Abstract

A composite material can include a carrier material that is coated, at least over part of the surface, with a corrosion protection layer made of an aluminum alloy. The composite material can provide a defined, effective, durable corrosion protection and simultaneously have a high recycling potential. The aluminum alloy of the corrosion protection layer can have the following composition in % by weight: 0.8 ≦ Mn ≦ 1.8 Zn ≦ 0.05 Cu ≦ 0.05 Si ≦ 1.0 Cr ≦ 0.25 Zr ≦ 0.25 Mg ≦ 0.10 remainder aluminum and unavoidable impurities, individually a maximum of 0.05% by weight, in total a maximum of 0.15% by weight.

Claims (31)

1. A composite material, having a carrier material, wherein the carrier material is coated, at least over part of the surface, with a corrosion protection layer made of an aluminium alloy, wherein said corrosion protection layer is in direct contact with the carrier material and wherein the carrier material is formed from an Al—Mn—Cu-alloy and wherein the aluminium alloy of the corrosion protection layer consists of the following composition in % by weight:

0.8 ≦ Mn ≦ 1.8

Zn ≦ 0.05

Cu ≦ 0.05

0.4 ≦ Si ≦ 1.0

Cr ≦ 0.25

Zr ≦ 0.25

Mg ≦ 0.10

remainder aluminium and unavoidable impurities, individually a maximum of 0.05% by weight, in total a maximum of 0.15% by weight, wherein the alloy of the corrosion protection layer contains Zn, Cu, and Mg.

2. The composite material of claim 1 , wherein the Mn content of the aluminium alloy of the corrosion protection layer is 1.0 to 1.8% by weight.

3. The composite material of claim 1 , wherein the aluminium alloy of the corrosion protection layer additionally has 0.05 to 0.25% by weight chromium.

4. The composite material of claim 1 , wherein the carrier material is coated over the entire surface with the corrosion protection layer.

5. The composite material of claim 1 , wherein the corrosion protection layer is coated, on its side remote from the carrier material, at least over part of the surface, with an outer layer.

6. The composite material of claim 1 , wherein the carrier material is coated, on its side remote from the corrosion protection layer, with at least one outer layer.

7. The composite material of claim 5 , wherein the outer layer is formed from aluminium or an aluminium alloy.

8. A method for producing the composite material of claim 1 , wherein a carrier material is coated, at least over part of the surface, with the corrosion protection layer made of an aluminium alloy, and wherein the corrosion protection layer is applied by simultaneous casting, plating, or spraying.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the carrier material is coated over the entire surface with the corrosion protection layer.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the corrosion protection layer is coated, on its side remote from the carrier material, at least over part of the surface, with an outer layer.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the carrier material, is coated, on its side remote from the corrosion protection layer, with at least one outer layer.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the outer layer is applied by means of a simultaneous casting method, plating method or spray method.

13. A heat exchanger comprising a coolant-guiding component and the composite material of claim 1 .

14. The composite material of claim 1 , wherein the Mn content of the aluminium alloy of the corrosion protection layer is 1.2 to 1.8% by weight.

15. The composite material of claim 5 , wherein the outer layer is formed from an Al—Si alloy.

16. The composite material of claim 1 , wherein the aluminum alloy of the corrosion protection layer additionally has 0.05% by weight to 0.25% by weight zirconium.

17. A composite material, having a carrier material, wherein the carrier material is coated, at least over part of the surface, with a corrosion protection layer made of an aluminium alloy, wherein said corrosion protection layer is in direct contact with the carrier material and wherein the carrier material is formed from an Al—Mn—Cu-alloy and wherein the aluminium alloy of the corrosion protection layer consists of the following composition in % by weight:

0.8 ≦ Mn ≦ 1.8

0.4 ≦ Si ≦ 1.0

Cr ≦ 0.25

Zr ≦ 0.25

Mg ≦ 0.10

remainder aluminium and unavoidable impurities, individually a maximum of 0.05% by weight, in total a maximum of 0.15% by weight, wherein the alloy of the corrosion protection layer contains Zn and Cu, and wherein the corrosion protection layer is free of levels of Zn and Cu beyond 0.05% by weight, individually.
