5754 aluminium alloy is an alloy in the wrought aluminium -magnesium family (5000 or 5xxx series). It is closely related to the alloys 5154 and 5454 (Aluminum Association designations that only differ in the second digit are variations on the same alloy). Of the three 5x54 alloys, 5754 is the least alloyed (highest composition % of aluminium), but only by a small amount. It is used in similar applications. As a wrought alloy, it can be formed by rolling, extrusion, and forging, but not casting. It can be cold worked to produce tempers with a higher strength but a lower ductility.
Alternate names and designations include AlMg3, 3.3535, and A95754. The alloy and its various tempers are covered by the following standards:
ASTM B 209: Standard Specification for Aluminium and Aluminium-Alloy Sheet and Plate
EN 485-2: Aluminium and aluminium alloys. Sheet, strip and plate. Mechanical properties
EN 573-3: Aluminium and aluminium alloys. Chemical composition and form of wrought products. Chemical composition and form of products
EN 754-2: Aluminium and aluminium alloys. Cold drawn rod/bar and tube. Mechanical properties
ISO 6361: Wrought Aluminium and Aluminium Alloy Sheets, Strips and Plates
What is 5754 Aluminium alloy used for?
Aluminium 5754 has excellent corrosion resistance especially to seawater and industrially polluted atmospheres. It has higher strength than 5251. This high strength makes 5754 highly suited to flooring applications. Please note that Mechanical Properties shown are for H22.

Temper Types
The most common tempers for 5754 aluminium are shown below with H114 & H111 being the most common treadplate temper
O - Soft
H111 - Some work hardening imparted by shaping processes but less than required for H11 temper
H22 - Work hardened by rolling then annealed to quarter hard
H24 - Work hardened by rolling then annealed to half hard
H26 - Work hardened by rolling then annealed to three-quarter hard
