Aluminium 5754

Scope

This data sheet applies to aluminium 5754 hot and cold-rolled sheets, strips and plates, cold drawn and extruded rod/bar, tubes and profiles made of aluminium magnesium alloy EN AW-5754.

Application

The material EN AW-5754 shows high mechanical properties among the non-heat treatable aluminium alloys and shows a very good atmospheric and seawater corrosion resistance. The material has a good weldability and is used for example in marine and offshore applications. The material EN AW-5754 is not heat treatable and as anodizing quality it is suitable for decorative anodizing.

Temper Types

Aluminium 5754 comes in various tempers. The most common tempers for 5754 aluminium are shown below:

· O – soft

· H111 – Some work hardening imparted by the shaping processes but less required for H111 temper

· H22 – Work hardened by rolling then annealed to quarter hard

· H42 – Work Hardened by rolling then annealed to half hard

· H26 – Work hardened by rolling then annealed to three-quarter harder

Of these tempers, the H114 and H111 are the most common treadplate tempers.

Excellent weldability

Aluminium 5754 has excellent weldability and improved workability. It finds its use in application in various market sectors such as marine, chemical, oil and gas and nuclear applications. The most preferred welding methods for aluminium 5754 are gas and arc welding which provide excellent results

Corrosion resistance

The alloy is a higher strength material than 5251 and offers good workability. Its ability to provide excellent resistance to both seawater and industrial chemical corrosion is a key characteristic of the alloy.
