Aluminium 5754 is an alloy mainly made up of aluminium (Al) with about 2.6–3.6% magnesium (Mg), along with small amounts of chromium, manganese, and iron. This alloy is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in marine settings. Typical mechanical properties include a tensile strength ranging from 190–330 MPa and an elongation of up to 20%, depending on the temper. It boasts good weldability and medium to high strength, making it perfect for structural applications. Additionally, Aluminium 5754 offers a nice surface finish and workability, which are essential traits in forging processes for high-performance components.

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 a go-to choice in industries that prioritize strength, corrosion resistance, and ease of workability. In the automotive world, they shine when it comes to making suspension parts, chassis components, and fuel tanks. The marine sector also reaps the benefits of 5754’s impressive resistance to saltwater, making it a top pick for shipbuilding and offshore structures. In construction, you’ll find it used in structural frameworks, panels, and railings. Plus, the alloy’s fantastic formability makes it perfect for pressure vessels, storage tanks, and welded structures. At Starc Metals, we produce these forgings to exacting standards, ensuring they hold up reliably in both high-stress and corrosive environments across a range of industries.






We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
