The invention provides an aluminum
alloy suitable for
extrusion casting and capable of being subjected to vacuum
brazing casting, a preparation method of the aluminum
alloy and a runner plate preparation method, and relates to the technical field of aluminum
alloy casting. The aluminum alloy comprises the following chemical components in percentage by
mass: 9-12% of La, 0.1-1.2% of Cu, 1-2% of Zn, 0.2-0.7% of Mg, 0.15-0.4% of Zr, less than or equal to 0.5% of Fe, less than or equal to 0.3% of Si and the balance of Al and inevitable impurities. According to the method, at least one of the technical problems that in the prior art, the heat crack tendency is large, the casting strength is low, and melting collapse is prone to occurring during
brazing is solved, Cu is added on the basis of Al-La eutectic alloy to form a specific structure, continuous pressure applying is conducted in cooperation with
extrusion casting so that the heat crack tendency can be reduced, and Cu and Zr cooperate to improve the strength of the cast after
brazing; and meanwhile, brazing collapse is prevented by ensuring that the alloy
solid-phase temperature exceeds 615 DEG C, Zn and Mg gasify and break an Al2O3 film formed on the surface of the aluminum alloy during vacuum brazing, newly exposed
base metal is prevented from being oxidized any more, and the finally prepared runner plate is matched with an R744
refrigerant to meet the requirement.
