Choudhary Metal is leading supplier of 5454 Aluminium Plates these
Aluminium alloy 5454 has very good corrosion resistance, in particular to seawater and general
environmental conditions. Strength is medium to high and similar alloy 5754 with good strength
in the temperature range 65 to 170 degrees centigrade. It has high fatigue strength. It is not
suitable for complex or fine extrusions.
Applications:
. Road Transport Body-Building
. Cemical and Process Plant
. Pressure Vessels, Containers, Boilers
. Cryogenics
. Marine & Off-shore incl. Masts,
. Pylons, poles & masts

Alloy 5454 corresponds to the following standard designations and specifications
but may not be a direct equivalent: A5454, ISO Al Mg3MN, Al 2.7Mg 0.8Mn Cr.
The most common tempers for 5454 aluminium are shown below
O - Soft
. H111 - Some work hardening imparted by shaping processes but less than required for H11
temper
. H22 - Work hardened by rolling then annealed to quarter hard
. H32 - Work hardened by rolling then stabilised by low-temperature heat treatment to quarter
hard
Choudhary Metal supplied alloy 5454 in most forms but is not suitable for fine or complex
extrusions:
. Plate
. Sheet
. Bar
. Treadplate/Patterened Sheet
. Tube
. Wire
Alloy 5454 has good weldability by some methods but Soldering and Brazing are not recommended.
Formability of Alloy 5454 is good in the softer tempers and it can be extruded.
