Abstract

The 4343 Al-Si alloy is the most widely used brazing filler metal for the multi-layer aluminum clad sheets, which act as radiator fin for aluminum heat exchanger. In this paper, 0-1.0%(mass fraction) Cu or Sn was added to 4343 alloy in order to develop a new brazing filler metal with lower melting point and better collapse resistance. The results show that with the increase of Cu or Sn, the solidus and liquidus of the alloys decrease gradually, and when the Cu or Sn content is increased to 1.0%, the solidus and liquidus will be reduced by 10-15℃ respectively. With the increase of Cu ro Sn content, the Cu bearing intermetallic phases or the Sn particles increase in the cast alloy; after hot extrusion the Cu bearing intermetallic phases dissolve and Sn particles can induce the dissolution of Fe-Si bearing intermetallic phases; the tensile strength increases gradually while the elongations decrease a little. The results of trial brazing show that the addition of Cu or Sn will decrease the brazing temperature, particularly, the brazing temperature can be reduced by more than 15℃ for the filler alloys with 1.0% of Cu or Sn.

Key words: metallic materials 4343Al alloy alloying melting point brazing
