Aluminium 5456 Applications | Commonly used in the manufacture of high strength welded structures, pressure vessels, marine applications, and in storage tanks. |
Aluminium 5456 Machinability | Generally difficult to machine. Carbide tooling and oil lubricants should be used. |
Aluminium 5456 Forming | Forming of this alloy is more difficult than for other aluminum alloys. It requires generous bend radius and should not be severely cold worked. See "Cold Working". |
Aluminium 5456 Welding | Arc welding is best for this alloy and this makes it useful for structural applications. Gas welding may be used, but results are less favorable than for arc welding. |
Aluminium 5456 Heat Treatment | Not hardenable by heat treatment. See "Annealing". |
Aluminium 5456 Forging | No data. |
Aluminium 5456 Hot Working | Hot working of this alloy may be done at 425 F. This will avoid imparting high stress into heavily cold worked shapes. |
Aluminium 5456 Cold Working | The alloy may be readily cold worked. However severe cold working (over 20 % reduction) should be avoided as this may make the part subject to stress corrosion cracking in application where temperatures can reach 150 F. |
Aluminium 5456 Annealing | Anneal at 650 F and air cool. |
Aluminium 5456 Aging | Not applicable to this alloy. |
Aluminium 5456 Tempering | Not applicable. |
Aluminium 5456 Hardening | Hardens due to cold working only and the amount of cold work should be limited. See "Cold Working". |
Aluminium 5456 Other Physical Props | Electrical conductivity 32% of copper. |
Aluminium 5456 Other Mechanical | Shear strengths for various tempers are: O temper, 28 ksi. H321, 30 ksi. H311, 28 ksi |
Density (lb / cu. in.) | 0.096 |
