Abstract

See full text

In order to enable a satisfactory fluxless brazing without needing flux or vacuum facilities, a brazing object including an aluminum alloy material provided with an Al—Si—Mg brazing filler metal is joined by the Al—Si—Mg brazing filler metal without the use of flux by heating the aluminum alloy material, when raising the temperature in a brazing furnace, at least in a temperature range of 450° C. to before melting of the filler metal under a first inert gas atmosphere having an oxygen concentration of preferably 50 ppm and following by heating at least at or above a temperature at which the filler metal starts to melt under a second inert gas atmosphere having an oxygen concentration of preferably 25 ppm and a nitrogen gas concentration of preferably 10% by volume or less. The oxygen concentration and nitrogen concentration in the atmosphere in the course of brazing are controlled in this way, whereby the reliability of a joint is remarkably improved, compared with conventional fluxless brazing methods, while suppressing cost increases as much as possible.
