The aluminum and silicon components in the alloy powder of the invention exist independently, and do not react with each other, and do not form an alloy phase. Therefore, the respective characteristics of the two can be maintained during actual combustion and application. Generally, the prepared powder forms an alloy phase, most heat is released in the process of forming the alloy phase, and the heat release amount in practical application is greatly reduced. The prealloy prepared by the invention has the advantages that silicon is uniformly distributed in aluminum, the respective reactions release heat, and the effect that the heat release amount is not reduced is maintained.
