L54

Aerospace Aluminium Tube


L54 Aerospace Aluminium Tube

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 fabrication
  • Aerospace components
  • Processing equipment (chemical, pharmaceutical)
  • Sheet metal work
  • Boiler fabrication
  • Industrial pressure vessels (food sector)
  • Kitchenware

We stock L54 in round tube.
