The FusionTM technology, developed and patented by Novelis Inc. is a unique variant of the direct chill (DC) casting process whereby two different alloys can be cast simultaneously, producing a laminate (or composite) aluminum ingot.

This process offers some distinct advantages over current aluminum clad sheet processing routes.

The composite ingots produced via Fusion™ casting can be rolled down to thin-gauge aluminum ‘clad’ sheet without the need for secondary clad liner plate production.

Since the core / clad metallurgical, oxide-free bond is formed during the ingot casting step, a scalping step is saved on one side of each ingot, thus reducing scrap volume and increasing overall process efficiency and yield. The smaller number of steps involved in the produc-tion of a clad material creates a product with less potential for quality defects. Smaller Si particles in the clad alloy promote a uniform and faster wetting of the fin / tube joint.

Novelis Fusion™ brazing sheet meets or exceeds all criteria necessary for customers to produce strong, durable and corrosion resistant heat exchangers for the automotive and associated industries. Even more encouraging, Novelis Fusion™ opens the door for greater alloy development for next generation products.

It should be noted Novelis offers both Fusion™ and conventional clad assembly techniques, depending on the clad package production location and design requirements.

Advantages using Novelis Fusion™ brazing sheet:

• Flat interface• Continuous interface• No oxide inclusion• No porosity• Minimum alloys mixing

Results in: Perfect metallurgical bonding

Aluminum heat exchangers are subject to a wide range of severe environmental conditions, e.g. de-icing road salt, grit, acid exhaust fumes and others. The heat exchanger can be protected against aggressive external and internal corrosion attacks using the principle of galvanic protection for critical components and through suitable alloy selection.

A less noble (anodic) alloy will corrode preferentially to a noble (cathodic) alloy when in contact via a corrosive medium.This principle can be applied to the individual components of a heat exchanger (e.g. tubes, headers, tanks, etc.), and it can also be applied to the heat exchanger alloy system itself.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY MATERIAL SOLUTIONS IN ALUMINUM

In addition to the galvanic protection principle, the micro-structure of Novelis’ brazing alloys have been engineered to improve their corrosion life. This alloy development process is ongoing through our continuous R&D activities, and has to date produced a series of “Long-Life” alloys and multi-clad materials.

We can advise you further on alloy selection and compatibiltiy, if required.

Corrosion resistance and strength

Example of a post-corrosion test sample

14

1st Generation: Long-life alloys

2nd Generation: Age hardening / high strength alloys

3rd Generation: Eco friendly alloys

4th Generation: Multi-clad alloys

5th Generation: Sustainable brazing alloys

The use of Cu in these alloys (e.g. Hogal 3572, 3536) creates an additional corrosion protection mechanism in these materials, after brazing a Cu depleted band which is less noble compared to the core material also protects against external corrosion penetrating through the material.

This generation of alloys (e.g. Hogal 3551 and 3527) have been designed to provide an economically optimized solution between the performance of the 2nd generation alloys and the cost of the 1st generation alloys. This has been achieved by enhancing the chemistry of these materials to make them both more cost effective and environmentally friendly, as they can require less primary (pure) aluminum in their initial processing.

Novelis is at the forefront of the development and application of multi-clad materials for brazed heat exchangers. These complex material solutions have been designed for severe corrosion environments in both CAB and vacuum brazing applications, using cutting edge metallurgical processes and state-of-the-art rolling equipment. We can produce asymmetrical clad packages, where each layer has its own function, working together to meet your increasingly difficult product needs. Our R&D has developed in-house test methods to assess and optimize the design of our multi-clads, in terms of alloy chemistries, combinations and thicknesses, so we are able to tailor our solutions to individual customer needs.

In a continued effort to develop our eco friendly alloys, and to support the end-user OEM‘s increasing need for sustainable materials, Novelis as the No.1 aluminum recycling company is continuing to develop new alloy solutions with a low carbon footprint and environmental impact for the future, using less energy intensive primary aluminum and increasing the use of recycled material. If this is of interest to you, Novelis is your partner of choice.

The special chemical compositions and thermo-mechanical processing of these alloys (e.g. Hogal 3190, 3532, 3534, 3542), have been designed by Novelis to give both high corrosion performance and high strength. On brazing Si diffuses from the clad into the core, where small particles of α-Al(MnFe)Si precipitate along the clad / core interface, this band has a corrosion potential lower than the core and acts to sacrificially protect it against external corrosion penetrating through the material depth. In H24 temper these alloys have elongated grains after brazing, which are also advantageous for corrosion, as they create longer grain boundaries compared to other material tempers.

The quality concept is an essential element of our company policy. Its objectives are a continuous improvement in the quality of Novelis’ products and services to fulfil all customer requirements. The quality principles are formulated by the company management, implemented and known by all employees within the company.

To ensure these quality principles, a documented quality system has been implemented. The first quality manual was established in 1979 in Koblenz based on the requirements set by the aerospace industry. Since then the quality system has been continuously updated and expanded in scope. Our three plants in the US have also implemented similar stringent qualitysystems.

Process control ensures that production takes place under controlled conditions.

Quality inspections are regularly carried out in the various production facilities.Certified external testing laboratoriescan conduct testing for us according to national and international standards and specifications.

The quality philosophy means “zero defects”. The quality system takes into account the customers continuously rising requirements and specific quality standards as well as legislative and regulatory measures which may have an additional effect.
