Aluminium 5754 has excellent corrosion resistance especially to seawater and industrially polluted atmospheres.
It has higher strength than 5251. This high strength makes 5754 highly suited to flooring applications.

Temper Types
The most common tempers for 5754 aluminium are shown below with H114 & (H111) being the most common treadplate temper
O - Soft
H111 - Some work hardening imparted by shaping processes but less than required for H11 temper
H22 - Work hardened by rolling then annealed to quarter hard
H24 - Work hardened by rolling then annealed to half hard
H26 - Work hardened by rolling then annealed to three-quarter hard
H114
