The present invention relates to novel brazing filler metals comprising copper, silver, zinc, manganese and at least one metal selected from the group indium, gallium and tin.
Abstract:
In order to enable a satisfactory fluxless brazing without needing flux or vacuum facilities, a brazing object including an aluminum alloy material provided with an Al-Si-Mg brazing filler metal is joined by the Al-Si-Mg brazing filler metal without the use of flux by heating the aluminum alloy material, when raising the temperature in a brazing furnace, at least in a temperature range of 450°C to before melting of the filler metal under a first inert gas atmosphere having an oxygen concentration of preferably 50 ppm and following by heating at least at or above a temperature at which the filler metal starts to melt under a second inert gas atmosphere having an oxygen concentration of preferably 25 ppm and a nitrogen gas concentration of preferably 10% by volume or less. The oxygen concentration and nitrogen concentration in the atmosphere in the course of brazing are controlled in this way, whereby the reliability of a joint is remarkably improved, compared with conventional fluxless brazing methods, while suppressing cost increases as much as possible.
Abstract:
Provided is a solder alloy having excellent wettability on both of a Cu surface and an Ni surface. The solder alloy has such an alloy composition that 0.6 to 0.9 mass% of Cu and 0.01 to 0.1 mass% of Al are contained, 0.02 to 0.1 mass% of Ti and/or 0.01 to 0.05 mass% of Co may be contained as required and the remainder is made up by Sn.
Abstract:
A power module substrate (10) includes an insulating substrate (11), and a circuit layer (12) that is formed on one surface of the insulating substrate (11). The circuit layer (12) is formed by bonding a first copper plate (22) onto one surface of the insulating substrate (11). Prior to bonding, the first copper plate (22) has a composition containing at least either a total of 1 to 100 mol ppm of one or more kinds among an alkaline-earth element, a transition metal element, and a rare-earth element, or 100 to 1000 mol ppm of boron, the remainder being copper and unavoidable impurities.
Abstract:
A process for joining articles comprises the steps of: joining the articles together at a brazing temperature to form one or more brazed joints in a brazed assembly, wherein at least one of the one or more brazed joints comprises a filler at least in part capable of age hardening at a temperature below the brazing temperature; and heat treating the brazed assembly at a temperature and for a time sufficient to age harden the filler at least in part; wherein the articles comprise at least one diamond body, and the filler comprises an active brazing alloy for brazing to the at least one diamond body.
Abstract:
A method of producing a heat exchanger, comprising: obtaining a titanium plate (201) that has been cladded with a melting depressant foil (208), and heat treated for improving ductile properties; pressing a pattern in the titanium plate (201); stacking the titanium plate (201) on a number of similar titanium plates (201, 401); heating the stack of titanium plates to a temperature above 850 ºC and below the melting point of titanium, the melting depressant foil (208) causing surface layers (214) of the titanium plates (201, 401) to melt and flow to contact points (240) between adjacent titanium plates (201, 401); and allowing the melted titanium to solidify, such that joints (241) are obtained at the contact points (240) between adjacent titanium plates (201, 401).
