Problems solved by technology

However, the vacuum degree in the vacuum furnace can generally only reach 1.0×10 -3 Around Pa, due to the presence of oxygen in the furnace, the surface of the workpiece after welding will be oxidized and burned; moreover, there is a dense oxide film on the surface of the aluminum alloy, which will reduce the wettability of the solder and hinder the soldering process. The spread of the material on the base metal causes defects such as brazed welds to appear.

Abstract

The invention relates to an aluminum alloy vacuum brazing method with directional magnesium vapor slow-release. The method includes the specific steps: 1, placing magnesium chips into stainless steel cylinders with two ends open and open stainless steel boxes respectively by placing magnesium chips into each stainless steel cylinder and each stainless steel box; 2, placing a to-be-brazed aluminum alloy workpiece into a vacuum furnace, covering the to-be-brazed workpiece with a stainless steel process cover, placing two stainless steel boxes contained with the magnesium chips inside and outside the stainless steel cover respectively so as to decrease oxygen content in a furnace cavity and the process cover, placing more than one stainless steel cylinder nearby a brazing seam of the to-be-brazed workpiece, and enabling cylinder openings of the stainless steel cylinders to face towards the brazing seam; 3, closing a furnace door of the vacuum furnace, and heating for brazing. By the method, oxygen content in the vacuum furnace can be decreased greatly, surface oxidation and burning loss of the welded workpiece are reduced as compared with that of the prior art, brazed rate of the brazing seam is increased, and ultrasonic testing shows that cold joint area is decreased by about 20%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metal welding, in particular to an aluminum alloy vacuum brazing process. Background technique [0002] Vacuum brazing technology is widely used in the connection and manufacture of aluminum and aluminum alloys. It has the advantages of small welding deformation and can weld various complex shapes of weldments. However, the vacuum degree in the vacuum furnace can generally only reach 1.0×10 -3 Around Pa, due to the presence of oxygen in the furnace, oxidation and burning will occur on the surface of the workpiece after welding; moreover, there is a dense oxide film on the surface of the aluminum alloy, which will reduce the wettability of the solder and hinder the soldering process. The spread of the material on the base metal causes defects such as virtual welding in the brazed weld. With the help of some metal activators, such as magnesium (Mg), bismuth (Bi), etc., it can effectively destroy the dense...
