Tube aluminum alloy L54

aeronautical

L54 is a hydraulically tested, cold drawn aluminium tube product which has high corrosion resistance with slightly higher strength than 1050a. HIGH THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY Based on aluminium alloy material designation 1200, the material also boasts high thermal conductivity and reflectivity although this is not relatively as high as 1050. L54 has a 99% minimum requirement for aluminium content and yet is still classed as a non-heat-treatable commercially pure aluminium. BENEFITS L54 aluminium tubes are easily joined and have a high anodising capability. With very good weldability and very good resistance to atmospheric corrosive attack, the alloy also has high thermal conductivity. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Commercial applications for this engineering material include: General fabricationAerospace componentsProcessing equipment (chemical, pharmaceutical)Sheet metal workBoiler fabricationIndustrial pressure vessels (food sector)Kitchenware We stock L54 in round tube.
