Introduction to brazed aluminium heat exchangers.

Summary

Brazing is the joining of metals using a molten filler metal, which melts during heating and forms a joint when cooling. The filler metal melting temperature is above 450°C, but below the melting point of the core metals. The brazing joints create a metallic bond between the filler metal and the base metal. Aluminium brazing is well established as the preferred process for the production of automotive heat exchangers. High thermal conductivity, good corrosion resistance, formability and low weight make aluminium an ideal material for production of these heat exchangers.
