Material 5754

The aluminum-magnesium alloy processed from the material 5754 has good performance, high strength, corrosion resistance, and more durability. It is easy to paint in post-processing, and is often used to make high-grade alloy doors and windows.

​​

5754 aluminum is an important product of 5000 series aluminum alloy. The alloying element is mainly magnesium, and the magnesium content is between 3-5%. The main features are low density, high tensile strength and high elongation. Therefore, under the same area, the aluminum-magnesium alloy door is lighter in weight.

Both 5052 aluminum plate and 5754 aluminum plate belong to 5000 series aluminum plate. The main alloy elements are aluminum-magnesium series products. The difference in alloy composition makes it different. The difference is analyzed in terms of performance, use and price.

Performance: The machinability of 5052 aluminum plate is not as good as that of 5754 aluminum plate; the silicon content of 5754 is more than that of 5052, and the silicon content affects the forging function and corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy, so 5754 aluminum plate has better forging function and corrosion resistance.

Uses: 5754 aluminum plate is widely used in welded structures, storage tanks, pressure vessels, ship structures and offshore facilities, transportation tanks, and for applications requiring excellent processing performance, excellent corrosion resistance, high fatigue strength, high weldability and moderate static strength. 5052 aluminum plate is mainly used for high plasticity and good weldability, and is also commonly used in sheet metal parts of transportation vehicles, ships, instruments, street lamp brackets and rivets, hardware products, electrical enclosures, etc.

Price: Generally, the price of material 5754 aluminum plate is higher than that of 5052 aluminum plate under the same specifications.
