The invention relates to an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu series ultrahigh-strength aluminum 
alloy which is prepared from the following components in percentage by 
mass: 10-12 percent of Zn, 2-3 percent of Mg, 0.5-1.5 percent of Cu, smaller than 0.2 percent of a total amount of Fe and Si, smaller than 0.2 percent of 
impurity and the balance of Al. A preparation method for the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu series ultrahigh-strength aluminum 
alloy comprises the following steps of step 1, adding industrial pure aluminum in a 
crucible resistance furnace for heating and complete melting according to the 
mass percentage, and then sequentially adding a Cu source, a Zn source and an Mg source until all the materials are thoroughly molten; step 2, performing stirring, refining with degassing and 
slag skimming; step 3, spraying a prepared 
metal liquid to a 
copper roller to prepare a strip; step 4, performing cold isostatic pressing on the strip obtained through rapid solidification to obtain a cold-pressed blank; step 5, performing hot 
extrusion on the cold-pressed blank to obtain an extruded rod; and step 6, finally, performing heat treatment on the extruded rod. By adopting the technical method provided by the invention, the process flow is simplified, the material 
utilization rate is high, and the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu series ultrahigh-strength aluminum 
alloy has high strength and shaping and has a good application prospect in the fields of 
aerospace, automobiles and the like.
