5454 Aluminum
High strength and formability
Originally developed for use in the manufacture of aluminum sheets into tank or dry bulk trailers and dump bodies, 5454 aluminum’s main alloy is magnesium, with some alloys containing trace elements of manganese. 5454 aluminum properties include high strength, excellent weldability, formability, and corrosion resistance.
This aluminum metal requires oil lubricants, making it suitable for non-machine applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are the characteristics of aluminum 5454 H32 vs. H34?
Aluminum 5454 H32 and H34 have many similarities because they share the same alloy composition and physical properties. But the varying tempers result in different mechanical properties. H34 is further strain-hardened resulting in marginally 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.
What is 5454 aluminum’s yield strength?
5454 aluminum’s minimum yield strength varies based on temper, from 12 ksi (O) to 29 ksi (H34).
