The invention relates to an Al-Mg-Zn aluminum 
alloy welding wire and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of aluminum 
alloy welding wires. The Al-Mg-Zn aluminum 
alloy welding wire is prepared from the components in percentage by 
mass: 0.5 to 3.0 percent of Zn, 4.5 to 5.5 percent of Mg, 0.05 to 0.20 percent of Mn, less than or equal to 0.15 percent of Ti, less than or equal to 0.15 percent of Cr, less than or equal to 0.25 percent of Fe, less than or equal to 0.25 percent of Si, less than or equal to 0.15 percent of the total amount of other 
impurity elements, less than or equal to 0.05 percent of the content of single 
impurity element, and the balance Al. The preparation method comprises the steps of 
smelting, 
casting, heating to 440 DEG C to 470 DEG C, keepingwarm for 3h to 6h, carrying out hot 
extrusion, heating to 480 DEG C to 550 DEG C, keeping arm for 3h to 6h, rolling, intermediate annealing, scaling, and multi-pass drawing. According to the method, high-temperature long-time homogenization treatment is not needed, so that the energy is saved, and the welding wire production process is shortened; and excess 
crystal phase particles in the welding wire are fine in size and uniform in dispersion and distribution, so that 
wire breakage caused by drawing is reduced, the welding wire yield is improved, the production cost is reduced, and a welding performance and the 
weld seam metal strength of the welding wire can be improved.
