3003 ALUMINUM PLATE

3003 series aluminum plate is a common product of aluminum-manganese alloy series. Because of the manganese alloy element, this product has excellent anti-rust properties and is also called anti-rust aluminum plate.

The strength is about 10% higher than 1100, and the formability, weldability and corrosion resistance are good. It is used for processing parts that require good formability, high corrosion resistance and good weldability, or work that requires these properties and higher strength than 1XXX series alloys, such as kitchen utensils, food and chemical product processing and storage equipment, tanks and cans for transporting liquid products, various pressure vessels and pipes processed with thin plates, general utensils, heat sinks, cosmetic panels, photocopier rollers, and ship materials.

PRODUCT FEATURES

3003 is an AL-Mn alloy, which is the most widely used rust-proof aluminum. The strength of this alloy is not high (slightly higher than industrial pure aluminum), and it cannot be strengthened by heat treatment, so cold working methods are used to improve its mechanical properties: it has high plasticity in the annealed state, good plasticity during semi-cold hardening, low plasticity during cold hardening, good corrosion resistance, good weldability, and poor machinability. It is mainly used for low-load parts that require high plasticity and good weldability and work in liquid or gas media, such as oil tanks, gasoline or lubricating oil pipes, various liquid containers and other small-load parts made by deep drawing: wire is used to make rivets.
