Heat Exchangers
High-Strength, High-Thermal-Conductivity Heat Exchanger CC Al-Fe-Ni Alloy Fin Stock
For Automobile Radiators and Air Conditioning Fin Materials
We have developed fin materials created using the continuous casting (CC) rolling method for use in automobile heat exchangers. Compared with fin materials made using the conventional semi-continuous casting method, materials are high in strength and have a high heat transfer rate.
Features
- To create fin materials that allow walls to be thinner requires that particles be finer and dispersed more densely to increase strength.
- We have succeeded in raising the heat transfer rate compared with conventional materials by optimally mixing additive elements to increase the heat exchange ratio.
- Using a fused braze material with high corrosion resistance results in good connections.
