The hot-rolled composite plate is annealed, cold-rolled, and heated to level. Prior to asynchronous rolling, the production method further includes the operation of setting aluminum powder between relatively rough surfaces; The thickness of the aluminum powder is 5-20 μm, and the particle size of the aluminum powder is ≤100 μm; During asynchronous rolling, the rolling speed of the supporting metal plate side roll is 30-60 m / s, and the rolling speed of the copper-zinc alloy plate side roll is 45-50 m / s.
