A heat transfer unit for a motor vehicle may include a metallic heat transfer block and a base plate. The heat transfer block may include channels that are configured to be flowed through. The base plate may include an outer region and a material bonding region. The base plate may be exposed towards the outside and may be materially bonded to the heat transfer block in the material bonding region. The base plate may be formed out of an aluminium, an aluminium alloy, or a wrought aluminium alloy. The outer region of the base plate may comprise a protective coating produced by anodising at least in regions, and the material bonding region of the base plate may not have a protective coating produced by anodising.

In a mixed composition coating material for brazing, when a total mass of a solid material, an organic solvent, and water is defined as 100 mass %, the solid material are contained in an amount of 30 mass % or greater and 80 mass % or less with respect to the whole coating material, the organic solvent and the water is contained in a total amount of 20 mass % or greater and 70 mass % or less with respect to the whole coating material, and the water is contained in an amount of 0.4 mass % or greater and 2.5 mass % or less with respect to the whole coating material.

A heat exchanger includes a bag-like outer packaging material. A heat medium flows into an inside of the outer packaging material. An inner core material is arranged in the inside of the outer packaging material. The outer packaging material has an outer packaging laminate material including a metal heat transfer layer and a resin thermal fusion layer on a surface side of the heat transfer layer. The outer packaging laminate materials form a bag shape by integrally joining the thermal fusion layers along the peripheral edge portions. The inner core material includes the inner core laminate material with a metal heat transfer layer and resin thermal fusion layers on surface sides of the heat transfer layer. The thermal fusion layers of a concave portion bottom and a convex portion top of the inner core material and the thermal fusion layers of the outer packaging laminate material are integrally joined.

There are provided a heat exchanger having a flat tube and a fin bonded together, without causing melting of a coating material covering the fin, and a method of manufacturing thereof. A heat exchanger includes: a flat tube having a flat cross-sectional shape and covered with an anticorrosive layer; and a fin bonded to the flat tube with a bonding agent on a first surface of the anticorrosive layer interposed therebetween, and covered with a coating material, the first surface of the anticorrosive layer having been roughened, and the bonding agent being fixed to the roughened first surface.

Porous, binderless ceramic surface modification materials are described, and applications of use thereof. The ceramic surface material is in the form of an interconnected network of porous ceramic material on a substrate. The ceramic material may include a metal oxide, a metal hydroxide, and/or hydrates thereof, or a metal carbonate or metal phosphate, on a substrate surface. The substrate may be in the form of a metal or polymer particulate, powder, extrudate, or flakes.

A radiator structure is provided. The radiator structure includes a substrate, a first metal coating layer and a second metal coating layer. The first metal coating layer and the second metal coating layer are made of materials different from one another, and are formed on the substrate by different processes. The first metal coating layer is a non-first masking area formed on the substrate by wet processing. The second metal coating layer is a non-second masking area correspondingly formed on the first metal coating layer and the substrate by sputtering. A first masking area and a second masking area are not necessarily the same.

In various embodiments, a metal alloy resistant to aqueous corrosion consists essentially of or consists of niobium with additions of tungsten, molybdenum, and one or both of ruthenium and palladium.
