5454 aluminum alloy is an alloy in the wrought aluminum-magnesium series (5000 or 5xxx series). As a wrought alloy, 5454 can be formed by rolling, extrusion, and forging (although forging is uncommon), but cannot be cast. 5454 can be cold worked to produce a temper with higher strength but lower ductility, and it is not usually clad.

We often see 5454 aluminum plates in environments that require high rust resistance, such as marine facility pipes, aluminum tank truck bodies, automobile wheels, etc.
5454 aluminum is often used in welded structures such as pressure vessels and ships. 5454 grade aluminum is specially developed for the manufacture of aluminum plates for tank/dry bulk trailers and dump truck bodies.
5454 Aluminum Plate Typical Applications
Popular application topics about 5454 aluminum plate
What are the characteristics of 5454 H32 aluminum compared to H34 aluminum?
5454 H32 aluminum and H34 have the same alloy composition and physical properties. But different tempering results in different mechanical properties. H34 undergoes further strain hardening, resulting in slightly higher tensile strength.
What is the density of 5454 aluminum?
5454 aluminum has a density of 168 lb/ft3, making it among the most dense 5000 series aluminum alloys.
