Abstract (en)

An aluminum alloy extruded multi-hole tube for a heat exchanger is formed of an aluminum alloy comprising Mn of 0.60 to 1.80 mass % and Si of more than 0.00 mass % and less than 0.20 mass %, with the balance being Al and inevitable impurities. The aluminum alloy has a ratio (Mn/Si) of the Mn content to the Si content being 15.0 or more. Strength change (tensile strength (A) of the aluminum alloy after heating test - tensile strength (B) of the aluminum alloy before heating test) in a heating test at 600°C±10°C for 3 minutes is -5 MPa or more. The present invention can provide an aluminum alloy extruded multi-hole tube for a heat exchanger having excellent extrudability and high strength after brazing, and a method for manufacturing the same.
