5754 aluminum sheet temper
5754 aluminum alloy can be supplied in various tempers, each of which undergoes different heat treatment processes to achieve specific mechanical properties. The most common tempers for 5754 aluminum sheet are as follows:
5754-O Temper (Annealed): It has low strength but high formability, making it suitable for cold working processes such as bending and deep drawing.
5754-H111 aluminum sheet: This temper indicates that the aluminum has undergone a mild work hardening process. It offers moderate strength and retains good formability. It’s often used in applications requiring some strength along with good formability.
5754 H22 / 5754 H24 / 5754 H26: These tempers are work-hardened variations of the H111 temper. They offer increased strength compared to H111, achieved through cold working processes such as rolling or stretching. H22, H24, and H26 tempers are suitable for structural applications where higher strength is required.
5754 H32 / 5754 H34 / 5754 H36 / 5754 H38: These tempers are further work-hardened versions compared to H22, H24, H26. They offer even higher strength levels, making them suitable for applications requiring greater structural integrity. H32, H34, H36, and H38 tempers are commonly used in marine and structural applications.
5754 H116 / 5754 H321: These tempers are specifically designed for marine applications where corrosion resistance is critical. They offer high resistance to corrosion in seawater environments along with good strength. H116 is typically used for products subjected to seawater corrosion, while H321 is suitable for products subject to both seawater and atmospheric corrosion.
5754 H112 aluminum sheet: This temper is specifically for aluminum alloy 5754 plates and sheets. It indicates that the material has undergone a stabilization treatment to improve its resistance to stress corrosion cracking. It’s commonly used in applications where high resistance to corrosion and excellent formability are required.
