We are a world-class supplier of engineering raw materials. Our objective is to provide all our customers, from the small machine shop to the large multi-national corporation, a supply path that continuously delivers the highest levels of service, quality and value.
L54 is a hydraulically tested, cold drawn aluminium tube product which has high corrosion resistance with slightly higher strength than 1050a.
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.
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.
Commercial applications for this engineering material include:
We stock L54 in round tube.
Our knowledgeable staff and resident metallurgists will be pleased to assist you further on any technical topic. Smiths Metal Centres Limited also boasts an in-house UKAS Accredited Testing Laboratory which is unique within the multi-metal and plastic stockholding sector. We believe this underlines our total commitment to quality and our ethos of being the complete service provider.
