The invention belongs to the field of aluminum alloy material manufacturing and relates to an Al-Mg-Si-Cu alloy with a high energy absorption property, the alloy is prepared by the following elementsin percentage by weight: 0.6-1.0% of Si, less than or equal to 0.35% of Fe, 0.4-0.7% of Cu, less than or equal to 0.3% of Mn, 0.6-1.0% of Mg, 0.1-0.3% of Cr, 0.1-0.3% of V, less than or equal to 0.1%of Ti, less than or equal to 0.05% of the rest single impurity content, less than or equal to 0.15% of total impurity and the balance of Al. in the preparation method, the stretched and straightened aluminum alloy profile is subjected to two-stage artificial aging within 24 hours, the first-stage artificial aging process is 150+ / -5 DEG C * (1-2)h, and the second-stage artificial aging process is 220+ / -5 DEG C * (4-5)h; aluminum alloy materials with better mechanical properties and energy absorption properties can be produced by adjusting alloy compositions and subsequent production processes,the safety of the aluminum alloy as an energy absorption element is improved, and the application range of the aluminum alloy in traffic products is enlarged.
