What is the difference between 6061 and 5754 aluminum?

6061 is a heat-treatable Al-Mg-Si alloy with higher strength (T6 temper: 310 MPa) but lower corrosion resistance in marine environments. 5754 is a non-heat-treatable Al-Mg alloy (2.6-3.6% Mg) with superior seawater corrosion resistance and better weldability. 6061 is used in aerospace, while 5754 is preferred for marine applications.

What is the difference between 5052 and 5754 Aluminium?

5754 has higher magnesium content (2.6-3.6% vs 2.2-2.8% in 5052) providing 20% higher strength (H34: 240-280 MPa vs 210-250 MPa). Both have excellent corrosion resistance, but 5754 offers better performance in seawater environments. 5052 has slightly better formability and is more economical.

What is the difference between Aluminium 1050 and 5754?

1050 is commercially pure aluminum (99.5% Al) with low strength (65-95 MPa) but excellent corrosion resistance. 5754 is an alloy with medium-high strength (190-305 MPa) and superior seawater resistance due to its magnesium content (2.6-3.6%). 1050 is used in chemical tanks, while 5754 is for structural marine components.

What is 5754 aluminum equivalent to?

5754 aluminum equivalents include: EN-AW 5754 (European standard), AlMg3 (ISO designation), and A95754 (UNS number). It has similar properties to 5054 and 5454 alloys but with optimized seawater corrosion resistance.

Is 5754 aluminum machinable?

5754 has moderate machinability (rating: 50% compared to free-cutting brass). It requires sharp carbide tools and produces long chips. Coolants are recommended for extended tool life. Not ideal for high-precision machining applications.

What is the difference between Al 5754 and Al 5083?

5083 has higher magnesium content (4.0-4.9%) providing greater strength (290-340 MPa) for extreme marine/military applications. 5754 (Mg:2.6-3.6%) offers better formability and cost efficiency for general marine use. 5083 requires special welding procedures, while 5754 has excellent weldability.

What is AMS 5754 material?

There is no AMS 5754 specification. For 5754 aluminum, the primary aerospace specification is AMS 4025, which covers chemical composition and mechanical properties for sheet and plate products used in aerospace applications.

What is the density of 5754 aluminum?

The density of 5754 aluminum is 2.67 g/cm³ - approximately 1/3 the density of steel. This lightweight property makes it ideal for transportation applications where weight reduction is critical.

What is the difference between Aluminium 5754 and 5005?

5005 contains 0.5-1.1% magnesium with lower strength (tensile: 125-145 MPa) primarily used for decorative/architectural applications. 5754 has 2.6-3.6% Mg with significantly higher strength (190-305 MPa) and is engineered for structural marine/industrial applications.

What is 5754 aluminium used for?

Key applications include Marine (ship hulls H112, anti-slip decks H114), Automotive (body panels O temper, fuel tanks H111), Chemical (storage tanks O/H114, pipelines), Construction (building facades H24 anodized), and Energy (battery housings H18).
