The invention relates to an aluminum-
gallium alloy and a preparation method thereof, wherein the aluminum-
gallium alloy is a two-phase structure, and a
metal gallium is distributed along an aluminum
alloy grain boundary to form the two-phase structure. The aluminum-
gallium alloy preparation method comprises: placing a
metal gallium into a sealed flask, placing the sealed flask into a water bath kettle to heat to a temperature of 50 DEG C so as to melt the
metal gallium in the flask to achieve a
liquid state, and maintaining a constant temperature to be spare; taking a metal aluminum, and adopting a mechanical scraping method to remove a
surface oxidation film under protection of an
inert gas such as an
argon gas medium so as to
expose a pure
aluminum substrate; and covering the
liquid state gallium on the surface of the exposed pure
aluminum substrate continuously under the protection of the
inert gas, then placing into a vacuum
heating furnace, and carrying out heat preservation for 10-60 min at a temperature of 50-200 DEG C to prepare the aluminum-
gallium alloy, wherein a thickness of the thinnest region of the
coating is 1-10 mm. According to the present invention, the process is simple, the aluminum material is not subjected to excess
processing, the amount of the metal gallium is significantly reduced, the cost is reduced, the prepared aluminum-
gallium alloy has good stability in dry air, and can rapidly react with water to produce a large number of
hydrogen, and strong economy is provided.
