Abstract

This brazed structure includes a brazing sheet that has been brazed and that comprises: a core material comprising an aluminum alloy which contains 0.3-1.0 mass %, excluding 0.3 mass %, Si, 0.6-2.0 mass %, excluding 0.6 mass %, Mn, 0.3-1.0 mass %, excluding 0.3 mass %, Cu, and 0.15-0.5 mass %, excluding 0.15 mass %, Mg, with the remainder comprising Al and unavoidable impurities, and has an average crystal grain diameter of 50 μm or larger and in which an Mg—Si intermetallic compound and an Al—Mg—Si—Cu intermetallic compound account for 40% or less of the grain boundaries; and, clad to the core material, a brazing material comprising an Al—Si alloy.
