The aluminum auto radiator comes of age

Efforts during the 1990s and beyond will be focused on reducing and improving reliability of aluminum radiators through improvements in aluminum materials and the brazing process. Use of alternative fluxes that pose no corrosion problems will compete with fluxless processes for reducing costs and improving process reliability. Fluxless inert-gas brazing will compete with the vacuum process for improving process rates and yields. Intelligent process rates and yields. Intelligent processing methods for controlling brazing will be developed and establish new standards for manufacturing reliability
