Corrosion Resistant 5454 Aluminum Sheet for Chemical Storage Tanks and Atomotive Wheels
Alloy 5454 is widely used in the manufacture of chemical storage tanks, automotive wheels and in particular those applications that may be subject to temperatures in excess of 150ºF. Alloy 5554 was developed as a filler alloy for Alloy 5454.
5454 aluminum is a 5000-series aluminum alloy: the main alloying addition is magnesium, and it is formulated for primary forming into wrought products. 5454 is the Aluminum Association (AA) designation for this material. In European standards, it will be given as EN AW-5454. AlMg3Mn is the EN chemical designation. N51 is the British Standard (BS) designation. A95454 is the UNS number. Additionally, the AFNOR (French) designation is A-G3MC.
