The invention provides a verification method for tracking the metal deformation condition of an aluminum strip in a cold rolling process. The method comprises steps as follows: S1, a blank sample is taken and front and back sides of the sample are placed on a detecting platform; S2, the sample is then put on a milling machine for drilling; S3, an aluminum wire with the length equal to the thickness of the sample is inserted into a drill hole; S4, the edge of the drill hole filled with the aluminum wire is polished; S5, the sample is rolled to the target thickness, the aluminum wire and the hole are lengthened with rolling, and at the moment, the length L1 of the aluminum wire located on the surface of a finished product is measured; S6, the part which is 1/3-2/5 of the width of the round hole is removed through cutting; S7, the length L2 of a middle layer of the aluminum wire is measured; S8, by means of calculation, deltaL is equal to a difference obtained by subtracting L2 from L1, and the larger deltaL is, the higher the residual stress is. With the adoption of the method, the deformation degree of metal, treated with different cold rolling technologies, of the surface layer and the middle layer can be effectively measured, and the optimal cold rolling technology is selected accordingly. The method is reasonable in design, and the detection result is accurate and effective.
