Thermal analysis of aluminum alloy furnace brazing

本研究项目的总体目标是提高对汽车热交换器产品组装材料和制造工艺的理解、性能和成本。这些系统是通过使用连续带式炉工艺对轻金属（包括铝）进行炉内钎焊制造的。加拿大德纳公司（Dana）在其制造工艺中拥有并使用专有的无焊剂钎焊技术，该技术基于表面应用镍基钎焊促进剂，采用电解沉积方法。该提案描述了Stephen Corbin教授于2011年为Dana完成的先前研究项目的第二阶段扩展的目标和活动。

The overall objectives of this research project are to gain improvements in the understanding, performance and costs of materials and manufacturing processes used to assemble heat exchanger products for automotive applications. These systems are manufactured through furnace brazing of light metals (including Al) using continuous belt furnace processes. Dana Canada Corporation (Dana) owns and uses proprietary flux less brazing technology in its manufacturing processes, that is based on the surface application of a nickel based braze promoter, applied using electrolytic deposition methods. This proposal describes the objectives and activities for a Phase II extension of previous a research project that was completed for Dana by Prof. Stephen Corbin in 2011.
