Product Description
5754 aluminium is a widely used 5000 series aluminum alloy in Europe and other regions for enclosed trailers (cargo trailers, caravans, etc). It offers an excellent balance of strength, weldability, and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for structural and non-structural trailer components.

Key Properties of 5754 Alloy
| Property | Value / Description |
| Tensile Strength | 190-240 MPa |
| Yield Strength | 80-180 MPa |
| Elongation | 10-20% (good formability) |

| Corrosion Resistance | Excellent (marine-grade performance) |
| Weldability | Very good (MIG/TIG compatible) |
Why 5754 is Used in Enclosed Trailers?
Superior Corrosion Resistance
- Contains ~3% Magnesium (Mg), forming a protective oxide layer
- Resists salt, humidity, and road chemicals
- Better than 6xxx alloys (eg., 6061) in harsh environments
Good Strength-to-Weight Ratio
- Stronger than 5052 but lighter than steel
- Suitable for walls, roofs, and flooring without excessive weight
Why Europe Prefers 5754 Over 5052
- Higher Magnesium Content (~3% Mg vs. 5052's 2.2-2.8%) → Better corrosion resistance
- Stricter Environmental Standards (e.g., REACH) → 5754 complies with EU regulations
- Superior Weld Integrity → Less cracking risk than 5052 in critical joints
Comparison with Other Trailer Alloys
| Alloy | Best For | vs. 5754 |
| 5052 | Non-structural panels (North America) | Cheaper but weaker |
| 6082-T6 | High-stress frames (EU) | Stronger but less corrosion-resistant |
| 5083 | Marine/off-road trailers | Stronger than 5754, but more expensive |
