Aluminum plate 40 mm 5754 is processed from 5754 aluminum alloy, the tensile strength of which is 190-240Mpa, yielding strength 803 above and elongation 12 and more. The tensile strength of the plate ranks middle in aluminium alloys. What really makes it stand out falls on anti-rust performance. In addition, it’s suitable to be welded and formed, for it contains less magnesium than 5052. Heat treated 5754 aluminium finds its applications in the automobile manufacturing industry, including car doors, bodies, seals, etc., the canning industry, the welded structures, including storage tanks, pressure vessels, ship structures and offshore facilities, transportation tanks and other products requiring excellent processing performance, excellent corrosion resistance, high fatigue strength, high weldability and medium static strength.
5754 aluminum plate less than 8mm thick can also be supplied as a patterned aluminum plate, and a variety of pattern types such as 5 ribs/pointer type are available. Thicker 40 mm 5754 aluminum plate is mostly used in automobile industry abroad, such as door panels, engine covers, or trunk covers. The automobile choose 5754 because it is corrosion-resistant, light in weight, and high in strength. However, the price of 5754 aluminum sheet is much higher than that of traditional galvanized steel sheet. Therefore, it is rarely used in low- and mid-range cars like BMW.
Further more, 5754 aluminum plates of 40mm are also applied to marine building and cell phone making. All these applications are based on their excellent corrosion resistance and outstanding anodizing effect.
