Abstract
This paper discusses the field performance of flux brazed aluminum automobile radiators removed from cars after service periods as long as ten years. The data, representing service experience dating back to the early 1950's, show aluminum to be a viable material of construction. With attention to design, adequate flux removal treatments and routine maintenance of coolants extended satisfactory service can be expected.
