Abstract:
An aluminum alloy for making an extruded and brazed aluminum product, the aluminum alloy comprising, in weight percent, 0.10-0.20 Zn to improve corrosion resistance, 0.9-1.2 Mn, 0.03-0.10 Mg, the sum of Mg and Mn being at least 0.99 to maintain or improve strength, 0.15 to 0.30 Fe to control grain size, up to 0.15 Si, up to 0.03 Cu, up to 0.04 Ti, the balance being aluminum and unavoidable impurities. The alloy may be in the form of extrusion ingots or extruded and brazed aluminum products. A process for making an extruded and brazed aluminum product from the alloy involves homogenizing, extruding, optionally working, and brazing the alloy to form the product.
Abstract:
An aluminum alloy includes Si and Mg in amounts (wt.%) within a quadrilateral defined by the following coordinates on an Mg/Si plot: I: 1.15 Si, 0.70 Mg, II: 0.95 Si, 0.55 Mg; III: 0.75 Si, 0.65 Mg; and IV: 0.95 Si, 0.85 Mg. The alloy also includes, in weight percent: Mn 0.40 – 0.80 Fe 0.25 max Cr 0.05 – 0.18 Cu 0.30 – 0.90 Ti 0.05 max Zr 0.03 max Zn 0.03 max B 0.01 max with the remainder of the alloy being aluminum and unavoidable impurities in amounts of up to 0.05 wt.% each and 0.15 wt.% total.
Abstract:
An aluminum alloy includes, in weight percent, 0.70-0.85 Si, 0.14-0.25 Fe, 0.25-0.35 Cu, 0.02-0.08 Mn, 0.75-0.90 Mg, 0.04-0.08 Cr, 0.05 max Zn, and 0.04 max Ti, the balance being aluminum and unavoidable impurities. The minimum Mn content may be 0.03 wt.%, and/or the maximum Mn content may be 0.06 wt.%, in various configurations. The alloy may be suitable for extruding, and may be formed into an extruded alloy product.
