    摘要: A heat exchanger includes a first header (20), a second header (22), and a core (24). The first header includes a fluid inlet (28). The second header is positioned downstream of the first header with respect to a first flow path of a first fluid. The second header includes a fluid outlet (30). The core extends from the first header to the second header. The core includes a plurality of tubes (32). The heat exchanger also includes a first region (60) which is at a higher temperature than regions adjacent to the first region. The first region is made of a first mixture of materials in a first ratio. The first mixture of materials causes a coefficient of thermal expansion in the first region to be lower than coefficients of thermal expansion in the regions adjacent to the first region.
