An aluminum alloy for microporous hollow shape material use constituted by an aluminum alloy which has excellent corrosion resistance and extrudability which keeps down the content of Cu which poses a problem in intergranular corrosion resistance, which maintains the natural potential noble, which adds transition metals which do not obstruct the extrudability is provided, that is, an aluminum alloy which has a chemical composition which contains, by mass %, Fe: 0.05 to 0.20%, Si: 0.10% or less, Cu: 0.15 to 0.32%, Mn: 0.08 to 0.15%, Zr: 0.05% or less, Ti: 0.06 to 0.15%, Cr: 0.03% or less, and balance: Al and unavoidable impurities and has an amount of gas in the alloy billet of 0.25 cc/100 g or less, and a method of production of an aluminum alloy which, produces a DC cast billet.

Aluminum alloy for microporous hollow material which has excellent extrudability and grain boundary corrosion resistance, and method for producing same

A method for producing an aluminum composite material having a great content of a ceramics with ease. The method (a) mixes an aluminum powder and ceramic particles, to prepare a mixed material, (b) subjects the mixed material to electric pressure sintering together with a metal sheet material, to form a clad material including a sintered product covered with the metal sheet material, and (c) subjects the clad material to a plastic working to prepare an aluminum composite material. In the (b) subjecting, the mixed material is sandwiched between a pair of metal sheets or a powder of the mixed material is held in a metal container, the mixed material is placed in a forming die in a state in which the metal sheet material is pressurized by a punch, and the mixed material is compressed together with the metal sheet material. The metal sheet material is made of aluminum or stainless steel.
