Louis Metals distributes Aluminium 5754 Forgings in Houston, USA, providing corrosion-resistant, medium-strength parts that are best suited for marine and automotive applications. This non-heat-treatable alloy is renowned for great weldability and high fatigue strength, which makes it ideal for high-traffic and high-moisture conditions. Our 5754 forged items provide consistent quality and performance in demanding applications.
Aluminium 5754 has magnesium (2.6–3.6%) as its main alloying element. It possesses tensile strength of approximately 190–270 MPa based on temper. The alloy is very resistant to corrosion, particularly in saltwater and industrial settings. It has good workability, is suitable for cold forging, and has excellent formability. The material is not heat-treatable but is sensitive to strain hardening.

Aluminum 5754 has excellent workability, making it easy to forge. Its good formability allows for intricate shapes, but requires careful temperature control to prevent cracking and ensure quality.
Aluminum 5754 offers excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, good weldability, and formability. It's lightweight, resistant to stress corrosion cracking, and performs well in marine and industrial environments.
The forging process for Aluminium 5754 typically takes a few hours to a day, depending on the complexity, size, and type of forging, including heating, shaping, and cooling stages.
Aluminium 5754 forgings are found typically in shipbuilding, vehicle body panels, pressure vessels, and welded structures. It is also greatly preferred in marine use because it can withstand seawater corrosion. It is also applied in food processing machinery, storage tanks, and chemical transport tankers. Its fatigue resistance and toughness make it ideal for dynamic load-bearing systems.
