Abstract

A clad sheet comprising an aluminum alloy sheet having excellent high-temperature sagging resistance and thermal conductivity comprising an aluminum alloy sheet clad on at least one surface with a brazing metal, said aluminum alloy sheet consists essentially of: PA1 manganese: from 0.1 to 0.5 wt. %, PA1 silicon: from 0.1 to 0.8 wt. %, PA1 zirconium: from 0.02 to 0.2 wt. %, and, the balance being aluminum and incidental impurities. The clad sheet is particularly adapted to be used as a fin material for tubes of a heat exchanger, said aluminum alloy sheet may also contain chromium within the range of from 0.05 to 0.4 wt. % and/or at least one element selected from the group consisting of: PA1 magnesium: from 0.1 to 0.7 wt. %, and, PA1 copper: from 0.1 to 0.7 wt. %, total amount of said magnesium and said copper being up to 1.0 wt. %.
