Alcoa invented aluminum brazing sheet and its heat exchanger sheet products are industry benchmarks for brazibility, post-brazed strength and in-service corrosion resistance. Alcoa’s global network of rolling mills in North America, Europe and Asia allow the company to provide a common portfolio of brazing sheet products to customers worldwide.

Typical Applications
  • Air conditioning condensers and evaporators
  • Radiators
  • Heater cores
  • Charge air coolers
  • Engine and transmission oil coolers

Competencies
  • Unrivaled depth of knowledge in alloy development
  • Brazing sheet and heat exchanger prototyping
  • Full validation capabilities

Why Alcoa
  • Global supply from locations in North America, Hungary and China
  • World class R&D center dedicated to brazing sheet products
  • Long-life alloys for unbeatable durability

Advanced Technologies
  • Next-generation casting technologies Simultaneous Multi Alloy Casting (SMAC) that open up performance options not historically available
  • TRU-FLEX™ prefluxed sheet for Controlled Atmosphere Brazing (CAB) brazing applications


Case Study
  • Large OEM needed to remove carcinogenic chromate coating from its evaporators to meet global regulatory requirements
  • Alcoa developed an ultra-corrosion-resistant five-layer alloy that passed four-year fleet tests
  • Customer eliminated coating as a requirement and still met corrosionresistance specifications
  • Significant environmental benefits realized by eliminating hazardous chromate waste
