5454 is an aluminum-magnesium alloy (5xxx series). Its European name is EN AW-5454 (AlMg3Mn).
The H111 temper is an annealed condition with light strain hardening. The hardening is less than the H11 (1/8 hard) temper, so the material keeps good formability and machines easily, while its strength is a little above the fully annealed O temper. In short: H111 is a soft, formable temper, not a high-strength temper.

These are typical published values. Actual values depend on thickness. The Mill Test Certificate (MTC) for your order states the actual test results.
Notes:
H111 has about the same strength as the O temper. It is a forming temper, not a high-strength temper.
H22 and H32 have similar strength. H32 is stabilized and more common in stock; H22 is available on request.
Thickness Tolerances
Thickness tolerances follow ASTM B209 and depend on the thickness and width combination. The table below shows typical symmetrical tolerances for common plate sizes.

Main Properties of 5454-H111 Aluminum Plate
Resistance to cracking during processing. 5454 has few brittle compounds, so it does not crack easily during cutting, forming, and machining. This matters for parts made to tight shapes.
Good formability and stable welding. The soft H111 temper forms easily. Welding has a low tendency to crack, which gives cleaner weld joints.
Good corrosion resistance. 5454 holds up well in humid and marine environments. This is the main reason it is used for tanks and structures that see moisture and chemicals.
Common Uses Of 5454-H111 Aluminum Alloy Plate
5454-H111 aluminum plate is used for parts that need to be formed, welded, and then exposed to moisture or chemicals:
- Tanker truck tanks - body plates, baffles, and bulkheads
- Tanks for transporting diesel, gasoline, and mild chemical liquids
- Food industry tanks and equipment - cooking oil, juice, dairy
- Boat and ship structures
- General structural fabrication - frames, brackets, platforms
For low-temperature (cryogenic) tanks, 5083 is the more common choice, because it keeps its toughness at very low temperatures. 5454 is a room-temperature and moderate-temperature material.
Which Temper to Choose?
5454 O - fully annealed, softest, best formability. For parts that need deep drawing or spinning.
5454 H111 - light strain hardening, good formability, slightly stronger than O. A good default for parts that are formed before welding.
5454 H22 - quarter hard, similar to H32 but not stabilized. Available on request.
5454 H32 - quarter hard and stabilized, the common choice for tank bodies when you want more strength.
5454 H34 - harder still, for parts that carry higher loads.
The trade-off is simple: O and H111 form best; H22, H32, and H34 give more strength.

FAQ
What is 5454 aluminum equivalent to?
UNS A95454, EN AW-5454, and AlMg3Mn (ISO/EN designation) are the same alloy as 5454.
Is 5454-H111 stronger than 5454-O?
Marginally. H111 has light strain hardening, so it is a little stronger than O, but not much. For a real strength increase, choose H32 or H34.
What is the difference between 5454 and 5052?
5454 has more magnesium (2.4–3.0% vs 2.2–2.8%) and better resistance to stress corrosion cracking. For tanks and welded structures, 5454 is the stronger choice.
What welding wire is used for 5454?
Common filler wires are 5356 and 5183. Welding procedure tests on your actual batch are recommended before mass production.
Can you supply small quantities or samples?
Samples are usually available. For production orders, minimum order quantity depends on size and thickness - ask us and we will confirm.
