5754 Aluminum Alloy
Aluminum alloy 5754 is a typical Al-Mg alloy containing 2.6-3.6% magnesium. The addition of magnesium precipitates Mg 2 Si in the matrix to provide strengthening. Common material tempers have 5754-H111 and 5754 H22, H12, H14, H114 etc. Al 5754 has high strength, excellent resistance to atmospheric and marine corrosion, excellent weldability and suitable for anodizing protection. Alloy 5754 is widely used in automotive body panels and structures, railways, ships (plates), electrical power, transportation tanks, chemicals, food, forging and other industrial fields. Before being used in the automotive and aerospace industries, this aluminum alloy must be anodized to exhibit high microhardness.
