Abstract (en)

Treatment of copper or copper alloy tubes, intended to improve their resistance to corrosion resulting from a temporary heating of the said tubes, characterised in that a thin hydrophobic layer comprising a boron compound which is inert towards copper and which forms boric anhydride during the said temporary heating is formed on the surface of the said tube. Application to the manufacture of tubes which are relatively insensitive to corrosion due to pitting resulting especially from brazing and bending operations.

Abstract (fr)

Traitement de tubes en cuivre ou alliage de cuivre destiné à améliorer leur tenue à la corrosion résultant d'un chauffage temporaire desdits tubes, caractérisé en ce qu'on forme à la surface dudit tube une couche mince hydrophobe comprenant un composé du bore, inerte vis à vis du cuivre et formant de l'anhydride borique lors dudit chauffage temporaire. Application à la fabrication de tubes peu sensibles à la corrosion par piqûres résultant notamment des travaux de brasure et de cintrage.
