5456 is a non-heat-treatable aluminum-magnesium alloy (3-5% Mg) offering excellent seawater and marine corrosion resistance with moderate strength, commonly used in marine structures, shipbuilding, and welded pressure vessels. Available tempers range from fully annealed (O) to various strain-hardened conditions (H111, H112, H321, H34, H38) providing yield strengths from ~95 MPa to ~215 MPa respectively.
