The invention discloses an aluminum
alloy containing
rare earth, a preparation method of the aluminum
alloy and heating and ventilation equipment. The
rare earth-containing aluminum
alloy comprises the following components in percentage by
mass: 0.05%-0.30% of Fe, 0.05%-0.25% of Si, 0.80%-1.6% of Mn, 0.05%-0.45% of Cu, 0.01%-0.15% of Ti, 0.10%-0.20% of Zr, 0.05%-0.30% of
rare earth and the balance of Al and
impurity elements, wherein the sum of the
mass percentages of the
impurity elements is less than or equal to 0.20%. Elements of the aluminum alloy are optimized and selected to achieve uniform distribution of
intermetallic compounds of the aluminum alloy, so that the
corrosion potential of an aluminum matrix is improved, the
corrosion potential of harmful
intermetallic compounds is reduced, the
corrosion potential difference between the aluminum alloy matrix and the
intermetallic compounds is reduced, and the corrosion resistance is improved; after the aluminum alloy containing the rare earth is exposed for 12 days under a cyclic acidic
seawater test (SWAAT) of the ASTM G85 standard, the corrosion depth can reach 150 microns and below.
