Abstract (en)

Wave-like concaves/ convexes 34 and 36 are formed on respective flat surfaces 33 and 35 of a heat exchange tube 30, such that crest lines 34a and 36a of continuing V shapes in a horizontal direction and trough lines 34b and 36b of continuing V shapes in the horizontal direction are alternately arranged and that bends of the V shapes form curve lines. This configuration reduces the stress concentration at the bends in a press-forming process, compared with a configuration that crest lines and trough lines have bends formed in a shape of continuing sharply-angled V shapes in the horizontal direction. As a result, this configuration increases the yield in the press-forming process at a fixed amplitude of the wave-like concaves/ convexes 34 and 36 and increases the amplitude of the wave-like concaves/ convexes 34 and 36 at a fixed yield in the press-forming process.
