# What Is The Difference Between 5754 Aluminum Sheet And 5083 Aluminum Sheet?

Both 5754 aluminum sheet and 5083 aluminum sheet belong to aluminum-magnesium alloy aluminum plates. The main difference between the two is the content of magnesium alloy, hardness and elongation. The magnesium alloy content of 5754 aluminum sheet is around 3%, and the magnesium alloy content of 5083 aluminum sheet is as high as around 4.5%. At the same time, the hardness of 5083 aluminum sheet is higher than that of 5754 aluminum sheet, and of course the price is relatively high. Generally, the higher the magnesium alloy content, the higher the hardness, so customers can choose 5754 aluminum sheet or 5083 aluminum sheet according to actual needs.

The [5754 aluminum sheet](https://www.chn-alu.com/alloy-aluminium/5754-aluminum/5754-aluminum-sheet.html) belongs to the Almg3 series, and the magnesium alloy content is higher than that of the 5052 aluminum plate, which is higher than that of the 5052 aluminum sheet. 5754 aluminum plate is a medium-strength aluminum alloy plate with a magnesium alloy content of 2.6-3.6. It has good rust and corrosion resistance, no color difference on anodized surface, excellent processing performance, excellent corrosion resistance, high fatigue strength, and high weldability It is widely used in welding structures, storage tanks, pressure vessels, ship structures and offshore facilities, automobile manufacturing, transportation tanks, etc., due to the advantages of hardness and tensile strength, in recent days The amount is relatively large.

The 5083-O state aluminum plate is softer in the O state, and the can lid needs to be bent, and the partition part is also in the 5083-O state. In addition, some manufacturers use 5754H111 aluminum plates to produce cans.

The aluminum plates suitable for tank car bodies are mainly 5 series and 6 series related products. The 5 series is an aluminum alloy with magnesium as the main alloying element, and the 6 series is an aluminum alloy with magnesium and silicon as the main alloying elements and Mg 2Si phase as the strengthening phase. The main alloy grades include: 5052 aluminum plate, 5083 aluminum plate, 5754 aluminum plate , 6061 aluminum plate and 6082 aluminum plate.

5052 aluminum sheet is AL-Mg series alloy aluminum plate, which is the most widely used anti-rust aluminum with high strength and corrosion resistance. However, it cannot be strengthened by heat treatment. The plasticity is still good during semi-cold work hardening, and the plasticity is low during cold work hardening and can be polished.

The magnesium alloy in 5083 aluminum sheet has high strength, and the heat-treated alloy has good workability, corrosion resistance and welding performance. It is widely used in transportation vehicles, such as ships, airplanes, vehicles and pressure vessels (tank trucks, refrigerated trucks, refrigerated containers), etc.

5754 aluminum sheet has the characteristics of medium strength, good corrosion resistance, weldability and easy processing and forming. It is a typical alloy in the Al-Mg series alloy. In foreign countries, 5754 aluminum alloy sheets with different heat treatment conditions are the main materials used in the automobile manufacturing industry (car doors, molds, seals) and canning industries.
