A brazing material that has a low melting point and can braze aluminum materials at a low temperature with a good wetting property is disclosed. The brazing material can include a matrix composed of Zn, a Zn--Al alloy or a Al--Zn--Si alloy having a low melting point each preferably containing 0.001 to 3.0 wt % of rare-earth element. When such a brazing material is used, aluminum materials can be brazed at a temperature of 580.degree. C. or below.

Brazing material for use in a low temperature brazing and method for low

A process for brazing a die-cast aluminum material, wherein a die-cast aluminum material produced at a gate speed of 20 m/s or higher is used to be brazed at a brazing temperature of 500.degree. C. or lower. Further, it is preferred that the die-cast aluminum material is produced under a casting pressure of 600 kgf/cm.sup.2 or lower, or that the die-cast aluminum material is produced while depressurizing a mold. Brazing may as well be conducted using a brazing filler metal material composed of 6 to 24 wt. % of Al and the balance consisting of Zn and impurities. In the foregoing manner, the die-cast aluminum material can be brazed by heating it to a high temperature.
