EN AW-5754 \u00b7 AlMg3 \u00b7 W.Nr. 3.3535 \u00b7 UNS A95754 \u00b7 Per EN 573-3: Mg 2.6-3.6 % \u2013 Mn max 0.50 % \u2013 Cr max 0.30 % \u2013 Si max 0.40 % \u2013 Fe max 0.40 % \u2013 Cu max 0.10 % \u2013 Zn max 0.20 % \u2013 Ti max 0.15 % \u2013 Mn+Cr 0.10-0.60 % \u2013 balance Al. This is a 5xxx series Al-Mg alloy and it is NOT HEAT-TREATABLE. Its strength comes from magnesium in solid solution and from COLD WORK (H tempers). There is NO solution treatment, quench and ageing cycle; tempers such as T4 \/ T5 \/ T6 \/ T651 are NOT DEFINED for this alloy. The tempers are O, H111, H112, H114 and the H12\/H22\/H32 \u00b7 H14\/H24\/H34 \u00b7 H16\/H26\/H36 families.<\/div>\n

\n
\n
For what<\/div>\n
Bought for welded, formed sheet and plate work that must survive seawater and industrially polluted atmospheres and that will not be heat treated: ship and boat structures, vehicle bodies, tanks and vessels, treadplate flooring, food processing equipment, welded chemical and nuclear plant\u2026<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Forms<\/div>\n
Round bar \u00b7 flat bar \u00b7 plate \u00b7 sheet \u00b7 tube \u00b7 forgings. All forms are supplied to order.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

NO VERIFIED AMS NUMBER WAS FOUND for this alloy. 5754 is a European alloy and does not appear in the aerospace specification systems. In North America its functional counterpart is 5052 and the ASTM specifications largely run through 5052;<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Advantage<\/div>\n
This alloy has the best weldability and the best cold formability of the five, and it gets them without giving up seawater resistance. The Aalco, thyssenkrupp and Smith Metal data sheets rate gas, arc and resistance welding as very good; Gleich gives TIG\/MIG\/EB its top mark (1).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Welding<\/div>\n
Filler metal SG-AlMg3 and SG-AlMg5 (BIKAR); 5356 and 5183 are also used in general practice. Gas, arc (TIG\/MIG), resistance and electron beam welding are suitable; BRAZING IS POOR (Aalco: brazability poor). PREHEAT in the sense used for steel is not applied to aluminium;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Limits<\/div>\n
The first limit is STRENGTH: the EN 485-2 minima are clearly below 5083 (130 MPa in H22 against 215 MPa for 5083 H116\/H321). It does not replace 5083 or 6082 in a highly stressed load-bearing structure; if T6 strength is wanted this alloy is simply not a candidate, because it CANNOT BE HARDENED BY HEAT TREATMENT.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
