1. An aluminum alloy brazing sheet used for brazing in an inert gas atmosphere without using a flux, the aluminum alloy brazing sheet comprising:
an intermediate material and a brazing material cladded onto at least one side surface of a core material in this order from the core material side,
the core material being formed of an aluminum alloy core material comprising any one or two or more of Fe of 1.50 mass % or less, Si of 1.50 mass % or less, Cu of 2.00 mass % or less, Mn of 2.00 mass % or less, Zn of 3.00 mass % or less, Cr of 0.30 mass % or less, Ti of 0.30 mass % or less, Zr of 0.30 mass % or less, In of 0.10 mass % or less, and Sn of 0.10 mass % or less, and optionally any one or two or more of Mg of 3.00 mass % or less, Li of 3.00 mass % or less, Ca of 3.00 mass % or less, and Bi of 1.00 mass % or less, with the balance being aluminum and inevitable impurities,
the intermediate material being formed of an aluminum alloy intermediate material comprising any one or two or more of Fe of 1.50 mass % or less, Si of 13.00 mass % or less, Cu of 2.00 mass % or less, Mn of 2.00 mass % or less, Zn of 6.00 mass % or less, Cr of 0.30 mass % or less, Ti of 0.30 mass % or less, Zr of 0.30 mass % or less, In of 0.10 mass % or less, and Sn of 0.10 mass % or less, and optionally any one or two or more of Mg of 6.00 mass % or less, Li of 3.00 mass % or less, Ca of 3.00 mass % or less, and Bi of 1.00 mass % or less, with the balance being aluminum and inevitable impurities,
the brazing material being an aluminum alloy brazing material comprising Si of 4.00 to 13.00 mass %, and any one or two or more of Mg 0.05 mass % or more and 3.00 mass % or less, Li 0.05 mass % or more and 3.00 mass % or less, and Ca 0.05 mass % or more and 3.00 mass % or less, and optionally any one or two or more of Bi of 1.00 mass % or less, Na of 0.05 mass % or less, Sr of 0.05 mass % or less, Sb of 0.05 mass % or less, Zn of 8.00 mass % or less, Cu of 4.00 mass % or less, Fe of 1.00 mass % or less, Mn of 1.00 mass % or less, Cr of 0.30 mass % or less, Ti of 0.30 mass % or less, Zr of 0.30 mass % or less, In of 0.10 mass % or less, and Sn of 0.10 mass % or less, with the balance being aluminum and inevitable impurities, and
an oxide film formed on a surface of the aluminum alloy brazing sheet, the oxide film including any one or two or more of Mg, Li, and Ca, an atomic molar ratio of Mg, Li, and Ca to Al in the oxide film formed on the surface of the aluminum alloy brazing sheet is 0.50 or less,
wherein
after brazing heating, an oxide is formed, the oxide-including any one or two or more of Mg, Li, and Ca and having a volume change ratio of 0.990 or less to the oxide film formed before brazing heating.
