This invention relates to an aluminum alloy with B-rated or better
machineability, said alloy being suitable for using as brazing in the
Nocolock.RTM. process. The alloy consists essentially of: about 0.5-0.8
wt. % silicon; about 0.4-0.6 wt. % magnesium; about 0.4-0.72 wt. % tin; up
to about 0.5 wt. % iron; up to about 0.3 wt. % copper; up to about 0.35
wt. % manganese; up to about 0.15 wt. % chromium; and up to about 0.2 wt.
% zinc; the balance aluminum and incidental elements and impurities. This
product is preferentially processed into one or more of the following
tempers: T1, T5, T6, T651, T6510, T6511, T8, T851, and T9.
