Aluminum 5754 is an aluminum alloy with magnesium as the primary alloying element, supplemented with small chromium and/or manganese additions. It has good formability when in the fully soft, annealed temper and can be work-hardened to fairy high strength levels. It is slightly stronger, but less ductile, than 5052 alloy. It is used in a multitude of engineering and automotive applications.
Applications
5754 is typically used in:
~ Treadplate
~ Shipbuilding
~ Vehicle bodies
~ Rivets
~ Fishing industry equipment
~ Food processing
~ Welded chemical and nuclear structures
