In the automobile industry, where improving fuel efficiency by reducing vehicle weight is an important technical issue, measures to reduce the weight of heat exchangers for on-board air conditioners are also being sought. The general manufacturing method for this type of heat exchanger, such as a condenser or evaporator, is to first form the main body by bending a multi-hole tube for refrigerant flow extruded from lightweight metal such as aluminum or aluminum alloy into a serpentine shape. A brazing material for brazing is applied to the surface of the gap between adjacent tubes in advance, and the wall thickness is 0.16-0.
After inserting very thin aluminum alloy corrugated fins inside and outside the 18 fins and using a jig to maintain this combined structure, the entire structure was placed in a heating furnace and heated to the melting temperature of the brazing material. Therefore, the method of completing the assembly of the tube and fin by brazing has been adopted. The material for the fins is an aluminum alloy with a less noble electrode voltage than the tube material. Under conditions where corrosion is likely to occur, the fins corrode earlier than the tube, which is the so-called sacrificial corrosion effect. corrosion)
Care was taken to prevent this.

By the way, the brazing material that is applied to the surface of the corrugated fin in advance contains a large amount of silicon (Si) component as a melting point depressant, and during brazing, this silicon component deforms the material structure of the fin at high temperatures. During brazing, the fins tend to buckle due to the pressure applied by the jig, and this becomes an obstacle to reducing the fin wall thickness. was doing.

On the other hand, from the perspective of corrosion prevention measures for tubes, there are no corrugated fins at the bent portions of the tubes, which are bent into a meandering shape. It was necessary to take anti-corrosion measures; for example, methods such as preparing and installing a separate plate for sacrificial corrosion, or applying a special coating material that has a sacrificial corrosion effect were considered, but each of these methods was not insignificant. This led to an increase in costs (and was therefore impractical).

As another anti-corrosion measure for the tube, a method has been devised in which the surface of the tube is subjected to zinc diffusion treatment, but this method has the drawback of requiring expenditure for post-treatment of the waste liquid from the treatment bath.

Furthermore, instead of attaching the brazing filler metal for assembly to the extremely thin corrugated fins, by cladding the brazing filler metal layer on the side of the tube, which is much thicker than the fins, the melting point of the silicon component in the filler metal as described above The present inventor and others have already tried to avoid the problem of material deterioration of fins due to the falling effect, but unlike providing a brazing material layer on a simple flat sheet material like a fin, in the case of an extruded tube, When processing a sheet clad with brazing filler metal into a multi-hole tube shape, some of the brazing filler metal moves inside the holes of the tube, and the brazing between the tube and fins is sometimes caused by the soldering inside the holes. There were problems such as the material melting and reducing the passage area of the hole.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention forms an aluminum tube having a large number of holes by extrusion processing, and the surface of the tube is made of a composition containing magnesium and having an electrode potential less noble than that of the tube. Aluminum brazing material is hot-dip plated, and either before or after the hot-dip plating process, the tube is bent into a serpentine shape, and aluminum corrugated fins are inserted between adjacent tubes. A technical means is employed in which the tube and the corrugated fin are joined through a molten plated layer of the brazing material by heating the material to the melting temperature of the brazing material.

(a) The present invention employs a method in which aluminum brazing material is melt-plated in advance on the surface of a tube that is much thicker and more durable than -fins, so unlike the conventional method, the components in the brazing material are Brazing does not transfer into the fin material and cause buckling under high temperatures, and therefore the fin thickness can be reduced to the lowest possible value of the normal design value. , the weight of the fin can be reduced.

(b) Since an aluminum alloy with a composition containing magnesium is used as the brazing material that is melt-plated on the tube surface in advance, the presence of this magnesium removes trace amounts of oxygen and moisture contained in the molten brazing material. It exhibits a so-called getter effect, allowing the tube surface to be kept clean, allowing a good hot-dip plating layer to be obtained without using flux, etc., and also making vacuum brazing easier due to the same getter effect. .

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a heat exchanger used as a condenser for a refrigerating machine of an on-vehicle air-opening machine manufactured by the manufacturing method of the present invention, and as seen in the perspective view of FIG. By bending the flat tube 1, which has a plurality of partition walls 1a along the inside and a large number of holes 1b in a serpentine shape at predetermined intervals, the main part of the heat exchanger is formed into a rectangular panel shape as a whole. A very thin corrugated fin 2 made of aluminum or aluminum alloy for increasing the heat transfer area is inserted between the parallel parts of the flat tube 1, and the tube 1 and the fin 2 are connected to the surface of the tube 1. They are integrally brazed together by the melting bonding force of the plating layer 3 of brazing material, which is previously applied to the plated layer 3. An accumulator pipe 4.5 for collecting and distributing refrigerant and a connecting union 6.7 for connection with external refrigerant pipes are brazed to both open ends of the tube 1.

Next, the manufacturing method of the present invention will be explained step by step. First, an aluminum or aluminum alloy flat tube 1 having the above-described cross-sectional shape (see FIG. 2) is molded using an extrusion molding machine. This flat tube 1 is continuously supplied from the left to the right in FIG. 3, and is fed into the hot-dip plating apparatus A for the brazing filler metal 3'. The interior of the plating apparatus A is filled with nitrogen gas to prevent the brazing material and tube 1, which are at a high temperature of 590 to 605 DEG C., from being oxidized. In this example, the plating method uses a method in which the tube 1 is passed through the jet of molten solder 3' injected from the injection nozzle B, and the molten plating layer of the brazing material applied to the surface of the tube 1 is coated on the surface of the tube 1. 3 preferably has a thickness of about 30 to 50 μm.

In this example, the material of the tube 1 is A1050, for example.
An aluminum alloy containing 0.05 to 3.0 wt% of magnesium (Mg) as the brazing filler metal 3' and having a composition less noble in electrode potential than the tube 1 is used as the brazing filler metal 3'.

The Mg contained in the brazing filler metal has the function of keeping the surface of the tube l clean through the so-called getter effect, which removes minute amounts of oxygen and moisture contained in the molten brazing filler metal 3'. Hot-dip plating can be performed well.

Here, the reason for setting the Mg content in the range of 0.05 to 3.0 wt% is that if it is less than 0.05%, the getter effect described above is insufficient, and if it exceeds 3%, the vacuum brazing described below This is because Mg evaporates inside the reactor, increasing the amount of Mg precipitated on the furnace wall, and it becomes necessary to periodically remove this, which becomes a heavy burden on the work.

FIG. 4 shows a cross section of the tube 1 coated with the plating layer 3 of brazing filler metal as described above.
The tube 1 whose surface is covered with the 7 layers 3 is then bent into a meandering shape at a predetermined interval to form the heat exchanger body, and then the gap between the parallel parts of the meandering tube 1 is bent. At the same time, insert the corrugated fin 2 into the tube 1.

Thereafter, this assembled body was sent into a heating furnace maintained at a temperature of 590 to 605°C and under a vacuum atmosphere of about 10-5 to 1O-6 TOrr for about 10 minutes to form the molten plating layer 3. By melting the tube 1 and the fins 2, the tube 1 and the fins 2 can be integrally joined by brazing.
and the accumulator pipe 4.5 and between the vibrator 4.5 and the union 6.7 can also be integrally brazed at the same time. Thereby, the entire assembly of the heat exchanger shown in FIG. 1 can be completed. Even in the vacuum brazing described above, good brazing and bonding can be achieved without flux due to the getter effect of Mg contained in the brazing material.

In this example, the material of the above-mentioned corrugated fin 2 is an aluminum alloy having an electrode potential lower than that of the brazing material of the hot-dip plating layer 3, specifically AJ-1, 2wt%Mn-2.
,0wt%Zn aluminum alloy is used. Therefore, in this example, the composition of the aluminum alloy is selected so that the electrode potential becomes lower in the order of tube 1 - melt plating layer 3 -> corrugated fin 2.

By selecting the composition of the aluminum alloy as described above, the following advantages arise in improving the corrosion resistance of the heat exchanger. That is, in the portion where the tube 1 and the corrugated fin 2 are adjacent to each other, the brazing metal melt plating layer 3 and the corrugated fin 2

Moreover, in the portion where the former tube 1 and the corrugated fin 2 are adjacent to each other, since the electrode potential of the corrugated fin 2 is lower than that of the brazing material hot-dip plating layer 3, the fin 2 undergoes sacrificial corrosion preferentially. Therefore, damage to the molten brazing material layer 3 is less likely to occur, and the brazed state between the tube 1 and the fins 2 is maintained satisfactorily over a long period of time.

On the other hand, according to the conventional method of providing an adhesion layer of brazing material on the surface of the fin, the wall thickness of the corrugated fin 2 is usually 0.00 mm due to the aforementioned buckling strength reduction phenomenon originating from the silicon component in the brazing material. However, according to the manufacturing method of the present invention, this kind of buckling phenomenon is almost impossible to occur, so even if thinner fins 2 are used, the brazing can be performed at 590 mm or more during assembly. Can withstand exposure to severe temperature conditions such as heating up to 605°C for 210 minutes.

So, when the wall thickness of the fin 2 is varied in the range of 0.16 to O,OTm, the buckling phenomenon of brazing starts to occur when the thickness becomes below the A test was conducted comparing a conventional heat exchanger manufacturing method and the manufacturing method of the present invention.Table 1 shows the test data.

Table 1 Test results for fin brazing As is clear from Table 1 above, a layer of brazing material is applied to the surface of the corrugated fin 2 in advance. Whereas buckling definitely occurred when the fin thickness decreased, buckling occurred for the first time when the fin wall thickness decreased to 0.071 or less when the manufacturing method of the present invention was used. According to the manufacturing method of the invention, it is possible to make the fin 2 significantly thinner, and it has been demonstrated that it is greatly useful in reducing the weight of the product.
