The invention discloses a tetrapod-shaped zinc oxide whisker reinforced aluminum alloy hub and preparing method thereof. The aluminum alloy hub is made of compositions including, by weight percent, 8% to 14% of tetrapod-shaped zinc oxide whiskers, 12% to 16% of silicon, 1.0% to 1.5% of strontium, 0.12% to 0.18% of tantalum, 2.0% to 2.8% of magnesium, 1.8% to 2.4% of manganese, 0.40% to 0.56% of chromium and the balance aluminum. The preparing method comprises the steps of burdening, smelting, atomizing and obtaining aluminum alloy powder; performing ball mill mixing, performing cold isostatic pressing, demolding, performing sleeving coating treatment, performing warming pressure maintaining treatment and obtaining a blank; heating, rolling, forging, and spinning forming to obtain a hub workblank; and performing heat treatment, machining and surface treatment, and obtaining a hub finished product. After-casting treatment temperature is reasonably controlled, and the alloy is uniform in crystallization, high in strength, resistant in corrosion and impact, good in heat resistance, free of bubbles and good in casing and forging performance.
