A heat-resistant, creep-resistant aluminum alloy according to the present invention
contains at least 10 mass % and not more than 30 mass % of silicon, at least 3
mass % and not more than 10 mass % of at least either iron or nickel in total,
at least 1 mass % and not more than 6 mass % of at least one rare earth element
in total and at least 1 mass % and not more than 3 mass % of zirconium with the
rest substantially consisting of aluminum, while the mean crystal grain size of
silicon is not more than 2 m, the mean grain size of compounds other than
silicon is not more than 1 m, and the mean crystal grain size of an aluminum
matrix is at least 0.2 m and not more than 2 m. Thus, an aluminum
alloy excellent in heat resistance and creep resistance is obtained.
