Abstract

Abstract: This review systematically summarizes the development status, key manufacturing technologies, corrosion mechanisms, and application progress of all-aluminum heat exchangers in the field of household appliances. Comparative analysis shows that full aluminum substitution offers significant advantages in cost and environmental performance; however, long-term corrosion resistance and adaptability to complex operating conditions remain major technical bottlenecks. Future research is expected to focus on new corrosion-resistant aluminum alloys, green brazing technologies, anti-frost structures, and full life-cycle reliability evaluation, providing technical references for high-efficiency, energy-saving, and sustainable development in the home appliance industry.

Key words: All-aluminum heat exchanger, Microchannel heat exchanger, Nocolok brazing, Corrosion mechanism, Household appliances
