Rapidly solidified aluminum-magnesium base brazing alloys

A brazed metal article, said article being made from rapidly solidified aluminum base alloy having a composition consisting essentially of the formula Al.sub.bal Fe.sub.a Si.sub.b X.sub.c, wherein X is at lest one element selected from the group consisting of Mn, V, Cr, Mo, W, Nb, Ta, "a" ranges from 2.0 to 7.5 at %, "b" ranges from 0.5 to 3.0 at %, "c" ranges from 0.05 to 3.5 at % and the balance is aluminum plus incidental impurities, with the proviso that the ratio {Fe+X}:Si ranges from about 2.0:1 to 5.0:1;

• and having been brazed with a rapidly solidified brazing alloy consisting essentially of about 14 to 45 weight percent magnesium and 0 to 10 weight percent of at least one element selected from the group consisting of silicon, bismuth, strontium, lithium, copper, calcium, zinc and tin, the balance being aluminum and incidental impurities, said brazing alloy having a microcrystalline structure containing uniformly distributed intermetallic particles.
