Astm D 5456

[Hollie Kipps]

Aluminumalloys have strong corrosion resistance. They are sensitiveto high temperatures ranging between 200 and 250C (392 and 482F), andcan lose some of their strength. However, the strength of the aluminumalloys can be increased at subzero temperatures, making them suitablelow-temperature alloys.

Aluminium / Aluminum 5456 alloy has good strength and is useful forstructural purposes because of its weldable characteristics. Thefollowing datasheet will provide more details about Aluminium /Aluminum 5456 alloy.

Aluminium / Aluminum 5456 alloy has good cold working capacity butextensive cold working (over 20% reduction) should be avoided as thiscauses stress corrosion cracking when temperatures reach 66C (150F).

For these and other typical bamboo construction applications, SBPs and EBPs are available in two grades: exterior grade and structural grade. Solid exterior grade EBP may be specified in 07, such as 07412 (wall panels) of the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) Manual of Practice and MasterFormat. For structural grade SBPs, the specification is typically within division 06, the section that also accommodates parallel-strand lumber, glue-laminated beams, engineered wood products and structural timber, and rough carpentry, among others.

Several ASTM International standards may be referenced for the structural grades of engineered bamboo. Most relevant is the ASTM D5456: Standard Specification for Evaluation of Structural Composite Lumber. This standard, developed with the ASTM Technical Subcommittee D07.02.03 on Structural Composite Lumber, may apply to cellulosic materials used for structures and veneers. For that reason, engineered bamboo falls under the auspices of the Technical Committee (TC) D07, which interfaces with various TCs, including E06 (Performance of Buildings), E05 (Fire Standards), D14 (Adhesives), and C16 (Thermal Insulation). In addition to standard D5456, architects may also reference other standards in project construction documents, which among others may include:

While the ASTM standards added to the appeal of EBPs, the International Code Council (ICC) had already intoned on use of engineered bamboo for structural applications. In a 2009 meeting in Birmingham, Alabama, a vote passed to make LVB a newly ICC accredited product for the following year. Engineered bamboo had been used for years as a finish product, including widespread adoption for wood-look flooring.

Prior to that, the product category had its own criteria, AC162: Structural Bamboo, released in March 2000 with test methods, allowable design stress criteria, and other design considerations. This was the first codes document to recommend ASTM D5456 as a quality-control standard. It also provides reference to the International Network for Bamboo and Rattan (INBAR) Standard for Determination of Physical and Mechanical Properties of Bamboo.

It is valuable to note that the novel engineered structural component products made with bamboo culm do not perform identically to those made from traditional wood species. The bamboo-based products tend to have better dimensional stability than engineered wood, while their greater density also increases thermal transfer slightly over their wood-based cousins.

With bamboo-based structural elements readily employed as glulams, LVL, and structural composite lumber, architects and project teams have increasingly designed facade systems, such as cladding, storefronts, and curtain walls, using SBPs. Among the most promising approaches for storefronts and curtain walls is a thermally high-performance hybrid of extruded aluminum framing attached to SBP members for vertical members, mullions, muntins, and horizontal rails. Although non-load bearing as with all curtain walls, as a backup system, these hybrid members support the weight of the glass framing, effectively transferring that weight back to the structure. The engineered bamboo members are generally left exposed, which is ideal for the aesthetic characteristics of the materials. A variety of companies have begun utilizing SBP members into their product offerings to the glazing market.

Recent projects have included a split-mullion design by one architect, adding a unique and complex look to the SBP members in the curtain wall grid. Instead of a solid mullion, the vertical members appear as two side-by-side lengths of engineered bamboo separated by a 1-inch or 2-inch gap. Door details by some millwork and window makers have also been tailored to complement the clean sightlines of recent curtain wall designs.

Expanding this design language with a more consistent materials palette, some architects have used matching sunscreens and shading devices of engineered bamboo to complement the storefronts and curtain walls. Others have added trellises, pergolas, and other matching EBP structures and finishes. In some cases, the curtain wall and storefront systems are matched with load-bearing columns of structural bamboo in front of or behind the facade. High-performance laminated bamboo is applied to beams, glulam members, exposed trusses, and hybrid steel/SBP assemblies.

In general, these structural elements compare favorably with lumber, plywood, and wood composite products. SBPs have comparable strength properties to other hardwoods but offer better dimensional stability as well as contemporary aesthetics and sustainable characteristics not found in traditional or exotic woods and other engineered products. With further developments in exterior treatments as well as adhesives and binders, SBPs are expanding in areas well beyond where traditional soft and hard woods can be utilized. In terms of pest resistance, testing has indicated that bamboo processed with borate pressure treating prior to lamination records 100 percent termite mortality. Durability against wood-destroying fungi is very high due to the inherent antimicrobial properties of bamboo, with some variation expected based on proprietary treatment and curing processes employed. Many of the EBPs and SBPs are indigestible to insects and microorganisms, helping improve their durability and resiliency.

Due to the aesthetic characteristics of the materials, engineered bamboo is best utilized in situations where it is left exposed. This is a key advantage in regard to cost associated with additional labor and materials now not needed to cover up the exposed materials as done with typical wood glulam beams or structural members. SBPs have already appeared in the window and door industry, where structural stability is a must. This allows window and door manufacturers the capability of producing dimensionally stable members that meet a broad range of project needs. With these offerings, EBP and SBP have found a following among architects working in both residential and commercial building types.

The 5456 grade is a wrought aluminum grade. A 5456 Aluminum Plate is designed with a high content of aluminum with magnesium, chromium, and manganese as trace elements. The content embedded in these plates gives them enhanced corrosion and resistance properties. The Aluminum Alloy 5456 Plate is a high-strength grade designed to provide stability to different applications. These plates work well in sub-zero temperatures and temperatures up to 200 degrees C.

The 5456-h116 aluminum plate is tempered and can be treated in different processes. These plates have a melting point of 568 degrees C with a minimum yield strength of 340mpa. Similarly, a 5456 h111 aluminum plate is strain hardened to a suitable strength that is comparably lower than the permissible value in the H11 grade. These plates have lower ductility compared to other types of the 5456 grade. The aluminium 5456 h34 plate can be customized in different shapes and sizes as per requirements.

The 5456 aluminum sheet is an aesthetically appealing grade that is not utilized to provide stability or support to different applications. A sheet is designed with a thickness of less than 6mm and above 0.5mm. A UNS A95456 Sheet has a thermal conductivity of 120 W/m-K with a thermal expansion of 23.9 μm/m-K. These sheets have a young modulus of 69GPA with an electrical conductivity of 29% IACS. The 5456-h111 marine grade aluminum plate sheet works well in chloride-reducing environments. The marine sheets have moderate strength and anti-fatigue strength.

Because 5454 aluminum alloy is a non-heat-treatable aluminum-magnesium alloy, it can only be hardened by cold working. Oil-based lubricants are recommended when machining, unless very light cuts can be done dry.

Additionally, all welding methods can be adapted to AL 5454. But if TIG (argon arc welding) or MIG (metal inert gas welding) with AL 5554 or 5356 electrodes The process effect will be particularly good.

Because of its superior corrosion resistance , 5454 aluminum hexagon bar is very suitable for marine industry and other industrial applications with corrosive operating environment. And because of its high strength, it is also suitable for ship interior floor structure, skeleton application.

Ship deck: it can be used to make support bars, handrails and railings on ship decks. Its corrosion resistance and lightweight properties make it an alternative to traditional materials such as steel, helping to reduce hull weight and improve fuel efficiency.
