Aluminum alloy expanded material for welding use, aluminum alloy welding-joined body, and method for welding same

Abstract

A 5000-series aluminum alloy expanded material which does not undergo the occurrence of welding cracks even when the aluminum alloy expanded material is subjected to high-speed welding utilizing laser welding or the like; a welding-joined body comprising the aluminum alloy expanded material; and a method for efficiently welding the aluminum alloy expanded material. An aluminum alloy expanded material for welding use, which is characterized by having an Mg content of 0.2% by mass or more and less than 6.0% by mass, and containing a surface active element capable of reducing the surface tension of molten aluminum, in which the surface active element comprises at least one element selected from Sr, Ca, Sb, Li and Ba, and the content of the surface active element is 0.08 to 0.50% by mass inclusive.
