5456 Aluminum is a 5xxx-series (Al-Mg) alloy with magnesium as the primary alloying element, offering excellent seawater corrosion resistance and weldability for marine and offshore applications. The H111 temper (strain-hardened and stress-relieved) provides moderate strength suitable for extruded structural components requiring controlled work-hardening without full annealing, with typical yield strength around 180 MPa and elongation of 10-12%.
