The invention belongs to the technical field of aluminum
alloy manufacturing, and relates to a thin-wall 6- series aluminum profile for a
rail transit vehicle body and a preparation method thereof. The aluminum
alloy comprises the following components in percentage by weight, 0.5-0.65% of Si, less than or equal to 0.25% of Fe, less than or equal to 0.10% of Cu, 0.03-0.15% of Mn, 0.45-0.55% of Mg,less than or equal to 0.05% of Cr, less than or equal to 0.05% of Zn, less than or equal to 0.10% of Ti, less than or equal to 0.05% of a single
impurity, less than or equal to 15% of total impuritiesand the balance Al. The temperature of the homogenization treatment is 550-580 DEG C, the content of elements such as Mn and Cr is reduced, the recrystallization temperature in the
alloy extrusion process is reduced, the
nucleation density and the proportion of recrystallization of the aluminum profile in the wall thickness direction during
extrusion of the aluminum profile are increased, the characteristic that recrystallization is easy to occur when the thin-wall sectional materials are extruded is fully utilized, a product with the uniform and consistent
surface layer core grain structureis obtained in the
extrusion process, and the method for improving the recrystallization temperature of the alloy by increasing the content of Mn and Cr elements is subverted.
