Aluminium Alloy 5754: European architectural & automotive sheet.
The European 5xxx benchmark for tread plate, architectural cladding and automotive body panels, with excellent corrosion resistance, formability and weld response.
What is Aluminium Alloy 5754?
Aluminium Alloy 5754 is the European benchmark in the 5xxx family for tread plate, architectural sheet and formed automotive panels. With ~3 % magnesium it occupies the space between 5052 and 5083 in strength while offering superior formability, which is particularly important for deep-drawn automotive body parts and chequered floor plate to EN standards.
5754 cold-forms, deep-draws and bends excellently. Welds with 5356 filler. Roll-forms cleanly for tread / chequered plate production.
