3003 Aluminum Sheet

Application Market: Lithium Battery Busbar, Cosmetic Bottle Caps, Aluminum Lugs, Explosion Relief Valve, Heat Sink, PCB, etc.

3003 is AL-Mn alloy, the most widely used kind of anti-rust aluminum, the strength of this alloy is not high (slightly higher than industrial pure aluminum), and can not be strengthened by heat treatment, so the use of cold processing method to improve its mechanical properties: In the annealing state has high plasticity, in the semi-cold hardening plasticity is good, cold hardening plasticity is low, good corrosion resistance, good weldability, poor machinability.

Mainly used for requiring high plasticity and good weldability, low load parts working in liquid or gas medium, such as fuel tanks, gasoline or lubricating oil conduits, various liquid containers, and other small load parts made with deep drawing: wire used to make rivets 3003 Aluminum sheet formability, solubility, corrosion resistance are good.

For processing parts that need to have good formability, high corrosion resistance, and good weldability, or require these properties and need to have higher strength than 1XXX series alloys, such as kitchenware, food and chemical products processing and storage devices, tanks and tanks for transporting liquid products, All kinds of pressure vessels and pipe general utensils, heat sinks, cosmetic plates, copier rollers, Marine materials processed with thin sheets.

Aluminum alloy 3003, a member of the AL-Mn series, is a high-performance alloy used in a wide variety of industries. It is known for its excellent rust resistance, good formability, and high strength. This paper will deeply discuss the characteristics, advantages, and processing properties of 3003 aluminum alloy and its application in different industries.
