Abstract

PURPOSE:To remove easily a residual flux by incorporating specific components into a flux for brazing. CONSTITUTION:The flux is manufactured by pulverizing a mixture composed of K2SiF6 and AlF3 to grains of a prescribed size and mixing such pulverous powder with water to prepare the suspension. The suspension is stuck on the surface of an Al material by suitable means such as dipping, coating or spraying and is dried thoroughly in an atm. furnace kept in a prescribed temp. range, by which the moisture is removed. The brazing operation is thereafter executed in a furnace in which an inert gaseous atmosphere is maintained.

Among these brazing methods, vacuum brazing has the advantage of omitting the process of removing residual flux because it does not use flux, but the equipment is expensive and it is difficult to bond the finished product to prevent corrosion. Much of the Zn in the sacrificial anode material (aluminum alloy material with 0.5 to 2% Zn added) is lost by evaporation, resulting in insufficient corrosion resistance and requiring other costly corrosion prevention measures. There are drawbacks such as having to rely on

Although there is no evaporation of n, it is necessary to perform alkaline cleaning to remove the surface oxide film of the aluminum material before brazing, and the inert gas used has a low dew point of 160°C or less. The drawback is that the process is complicated and the cost is high.

In addition, in the case of furnace brazing using flux, there is no problem such as evaporation of Zn and the brazing performance is excellent considering gap filling properties, but it is difficult to remove the residual flux that promotes corrosion of the finished product. [Disclosure of the Invention] The present inventor has found that although there is no problem such as evaporation of Zn in the sacrificial anode material and it has excellent brazing properties, While conducting research on furnace brazing means using flux, which is said to have a problem with residual flux after brazing, we discovered that 2SiF, 2SiF,
It has been found that the problem of residual flux is extremely small in the case of using aluminum and AlF3, that is, the residual flux can be easily removed after brazing, and problems such as corrosion caused by the residual flux are significantly reduced.

That is, when brazing is performed using a flux containing K2S1F,1 and AlF3 as components, it is easy to remove the residual flux that becomes an obstacle when performing various surface treatments on the finished product. Furthermore, it has been found that even if the flux is not completely removed and remains, the negative effects of this residual flux are extremely small.

The reason why 2SiF and AlF3 exhibit excellent effects when used in this way is presumed to be due to the following reasons. That is, in the brazing process, K2Si
F6 partially dissociates and Si precipitates on the surface of the aluminum material, which has the effect of supplementing the gap-filling properties of the solder. Also, through the reduction reaction of Si, it promotes the spread of the solder9 and improves the brazing properties. Also, the main component of the remaining flux is KAIF.

The effect is particularly pronounced when . this is,
This is believed to be because, in the case of a composition that deviates significantly from the above ratio, the melting point of the flux increases, and the extent to which it contributes to improving the brazability of aluminum materials tends to decrease.

A mixture of 2SiF and 44 to 37 wt% AIF'3 is ground into particles with a size of about 200 mesh or less, and this fine powder is mixed with water, for example, to a concentration of about 5 to 20 mesh. A suspension is prepared, and this suspension is applied to the surface of the aluminum material by dipping, coating, or spraying, and then thoroughly dried in an atmospheric oven at approximately 50 to 200°C to remove moisture. Then, brazing is performed by performing the brazing operation in a furnace in an atmosphere of an inert gas such as Ar or N2 whose dew point is adjusted to below -15°C.
