The present application discloses a
rare earth-containing aluminum
alloy and a preparation method therefor, and a heating, ventilation and
air conditioning device. 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 being Al and
impurity elements, wherein the sum of the
mass percentages of the
impurity elements is less than or equal to 0.20%. In the present application, the selection of elements of an aluminum
alloy is optimized to implement uniform distribution of
intermetallic compounds of the aluminum alloy, such that the
corrosion potential of an aluminum matrix is increased, and the
corrosion potential of harmful
intermetallic compounds is decreased, thereby reducing the
corrosion potential difference between an aluminum alloy matrix and the
intermetallic compounds, and improving the corrosion resistance. Additionally, the rare earth-containing aluminum alloy of the present application can achieve a corrosion depth of 150 μm or less after exposed for 12 days in sea water
acetic acid test (SWAAT) per ASTM G85 standard.
