2. Description of the Related Art Since a heat exchanger made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy has a complicated structure, a brazing sheet clad with an Al--Si alloy brazing filler metal is generally used as a part of a component of an assembly. The temperature is raised to about 600 ° C, which is just below the melting point of the core material, and the components are integrated by joining the components by furnace brazing methods such as Nocolock brazing method and vacuum brazing method.

As described above, since the aluminum heat exchanger is brazed using the Al-Si alloy brazing material in the form of a brazing sheet, strict temperature control is essential. In addition, since it is necessary to maintain it in a vacuum or an inert gas atmosphere, there is a problem that equipment costs and running costs are high. In addition, the melting point of the brazing material used for the skin material also limits the material used for the core material. Further, since the clad material is used, there is a problem that the waste cannot be reused by turning.

On the other hand, there is a method of joining using Zn—Al solder instead of Al—Si type brazing material. By using this Zn-based solder, it became possible to bond at a low temperature of 500 ° C or less. However, even if a Zn-based solder is used, soldering is not easy if the soldering is performed in the atmosphere because the molten solder is oxidized and the wettability is deteriorated by the oxidation. Furthermore, Zn has a higher corrosion rate than ZnAl because it has a lower potential than Al alloy. Therefore, in automobile radiators and the like using Zn-based solder, the fins and tubes may be peeled off early in an actual vehicle environment.

In applying the Zn-based alloy used for joining in the present invention, it is preferable to cover and use the joining site or member.

The reasons for limiting the composition of the Zn-based alloy according to the present invention will be described below. Generally, Mg is added for the purpose of preventing intergranular corrosion of the Zn alloy. However, addition of Mg to the Zn alloy according to the present invention is recommended. It was found that the amount of corrosion was extremely small. Also M
The addition of g lowers the melting point of the Zn alloy. However, if the content of Mg is less than 0.1%, the effect of improving the corrosion resistance is small, and if the content of Mg is more than 1.5%, the effect of improving the corrosion resistance can be seen, but the oxidation of the Zn alloy is severe and the solderability is significantly reduced. Will be difficult. Therefore, although the amount of Mg added is specified to be within the range of 0.1 to 1.5%,
More preferably, the amount added is 0.25 to 0.75%.

The addition of Sn is effective in lowering the melting point of the Zn alloy, improving the wettability with aluminum, and improving the bondability. However, if it is less than 1.5%, these effects do not occur, and
Even if added in excess of 10%, no improvement in wettability is observed and the bonding strength becomes weak. Therefore, the amount of Sn added is
Within the range of 1.5 to 10%.

Addition of Al has the effects of preventing oxidation of molten Zn, improving workability, and lowering the melting point.
However, if added less than 0.005%, no antioxidant effect is observed, and if added more than 7%, the melting point rises and Z
It deteriorates the wettability of the n-based alloy and deteriorates the workability of joining.
Therefore, the addition amount of Al is set within the range of 0.005 to 7%.

The addition of Cu is intended to improve the wettability and strength between the Zn-based alloy and Al. The reason why the addition amount of Cu is 5% or less is that the melting point becomes too high when the content of Cu exceeds 5% and the joining work is performed. This is to make the sex worse.

The addition of Ti is for the purpose of preventing the oxidation of the Zn alloy, improving the wettability with Al, and preventing the change in color. The amount of addition of Ti is set to 0.5% or less. This is because the workability of joining is deteriorated due to excessive rise.

The reason why the bonding temperature is set to 420 ° C. or higher and 510 ° C. or lower is as follows. The melting point of this Zn-based alloy is approximately 3
This is because if the temperature is 90 ° C. or higher and the temperature is lower than 420 ° C., the spreadability and wettability of the Zn-based alloy cannot be secured, and it is difficult to perform sound bonding. Also, if it exceeds 510 ℃, it will overheat,
This is because defects such as blowholes are likely to be formed in the joint portion, and heating more than necessary is disadvantageous in terms of energy cost.
