The effects of Zn and Mg content in thin-walled square extrusions of Al-Zn-Mg alloys on its crashworthiness were investigated, and the correlation between the crushing properties, mechanical properties, and microstructures of the profiles were investigated. The results showed that the strength and the compression properties were gradually increased with a decrease in the Zn/Mg ratios (from 12.48 to 4.57). When the Zn/Mg ratio is lower (less than 6.29), an increase in the Mg content simultaneously improves the alloy strength and the c
