The invention discloses a method for manufacturing aluminum
alloy profiles for side walls of
rail transit vehicles, which includes steps of a, billet batching, b, billet
smelting, c, billet
casting, d, homogenizing, e, billet surface treatment, f, billet heating, g, mould heating, h, extruding, i, online
quenching, and j, profile aging. Parameters of the
processing steps are controlled well. Larger sections and better comprehensive properties of aluminum profiles can be achieved, requirements of the aluminum profiles on vehicle use are met, vehicle manufacturing cost is lowered, vehicle weight can be reduced, and the shortages of
heavy weight, high maintenance difficulty, high auxiliary equipment cost and the like of the steel-structured vehicles are overcome. In addition,
energy consumption in manufacture by the method is only one fifth of that in stainless manufacture,
water consumption is only one fifth of that in manufacture of stainless steel cars, and weight of the cars is reduced by one third. Proof strength of non-proportional extension can reach more than 255MPa, tensile strength can reach more than 300MPa, and elongation after facture can reach more than 11%.
