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.
Equivalents: “ISO Al Mg3MN” should read AlMg3Mn. The page itself says these designations are not necessarily direct equivalents.
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
Champak Industries 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.
Extrusion: The page says 5454 is unsuitable for fine or complex extrusions, and here that it can be extruded; it is chiefly used as plate, sheet and bar.
How the Eighteen Aluminium Alloys Differ
The eighteen pages cover aluminium alloys from several families. The 1xxx, 3xxx and 5xxx alloys are non-heat-treatable and gain strength by cold work, while the 2xxx, 6xxx and 7xxx alloys are heat-treatable. The 5xxx magnesium alloys are the usual marine and welded-structure choice; the 2xxx and 7xxx alloys are the high-strength aerospace alloys.
| Alloy | Family and hardening | Typical use (from the pages) |
|---|---|---|
| 1050A | 1xxx pure aluminium (99.5%), non-heat-treatable | General sheet-metal work, packaging, heat transfer, kitchenware |
| 1350 | 1xxx electrical-grade aluminium (99.5% min), non-heat-treatable | Transformer and switchgear conductors |
| 2024 | 2xxx aluminium-copper, heat-treatable | Aircraft structure, precision fittings, truck wheels |
| 2124 | 2xxx aluminium-copper, high-purity 2024, heat-treatable | Machined fuselage bulkheads, military aircraft wing skins |
| 2219 | 2xxx aluminium-copper, heat-treatable | Space boosters, fuel tanks, high-temperature structures |
| 3003 | 3xxx aluminium-manganese, non-heat-treatable | Heat exchangers, catwalks, food and chemical equipment, roofing |
| 5052 | 5xxx aluminium-magnesium, non-heat-treatable | Fuel tanks, truck panels, small boat hulls, pressure vessels |
| 5083 | 5xxx aluminium-magnesium (4.0–4.9% Mg) | LNG ships, pressure vessels, storage tanks, welded structures |
| 5086 | 5xxx aluminium-magnesium (3.5–4.5% Mg) | Shipyard work, tank cars, patrol and work-boat hulls |
| 5154 | 5xxx aluminium-magnesium (3.1–3.9% Mg) | Wire, rivets and cold-heading applications |
| 5454 (this page) | 5xxx aluminium-magnesium (2.4–3.0% Mg) | Road transport, chemical plant, pressure vessels, marine and off-shore |
| 5456 | 5xxx aluminium-magnesium (about 5% Mg) | Welded structures, low-temperature service |
| 5754 | 5xxx aluminium-magnesium (2.6–3.6% Mg) | Treadplate, shipbuilding, vehicle bodies, food processing |
| 6061-T6 | 6xxx aluminium-magnesium-silicon, heat-treatable | Tooling plate, architectural, transport, welded structures |
| 7050 | 7xxx aluminium-zinc-magnesium-copper, heat-treatable | Aerospace fuselage frames and bulkheads |
| 7075 | 7xxx aluminium-zinc, heat-treatable | Airframe structures and highly stressed parts |
| 7175 | 7xxx aluminium-zinc, heat-treatable forging alloy | Structural fittings, bolts and rivets |
| 7475 | 7xxx aluminium-zinc, controlled toughness, heat-treatable | Wing spars and fuselage bulkheads |

Cutting, Fabrication and Welding
Champak Industries describes full and part plate/profile supply and a plasma-cutting service. Send drawings, quantities, tolerances and edge preparation for your parts. Aluminium plate can be sawn, waterjet cut or machined to your drawing. Weldability depends on the alloy: the 5xxx and 6xxx alloys weld readily with a suitable filler, while the high-strength 2xxx and 7xxx alloys are generally not arc-welded. Send the alloy, temper and drawing with your enquiry.
