A corrosion resistant strip is disclosed. The strip comprises a core, and an interlayer adapted to be located between the core and an optional Al—Si based clad. The interlayer has a composition essentially consisting of (in percentages by weight): Si≦0.9%, Fe≦0.7%, Cu≦0.5%, Mn0.5-1.8%, Mg≦0.7%, Zn≦4.0%, Ni≦1.5%, elements selected from group IVb, Vb, and/or VIb of the periodic table ≦0.3% each and ≦0.5% in total ≦0.05 wt % each and ≦0.15% in total, of unavoidable impurity elements, balance Al. The core is more noble than the interlayer after brazing. The interlayer exhibits a volume fraction of a texture component of at least 30%.
