Ⅰ-3003 aluminum coil introduction

Ⅰ-1: Why is it called 3003 aluminum coil?

3003 alloy metal aluminum coil belongs to 3000 series alloy aluminum coil, which is a metal product used for flying shearing after casting and rolling process of casting and rolling machine. Widely used in electronics, packaging, construction, machinery, and other industries.

Ⅰ-2: 3003 aluminum coil attributes

3003 aluminum alloy is an AL-Mn series 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 cannot be strengthened by heat treatment. Therefore, cold working methods are used to improve its mechanical properties: It has a high degree of plasticity in the annealed state. The plasticity is good when it is hardened in semi-cold work. The plasticity is low when cold work hardened. It has good corrosion resistance, good weldability, and poor machinability. Uses are mainly used for low load parts that require high plasticity and good weldability, working in liquid or gaseous media, such as mailboxes, gasoline or lubricant pipes, various liquid containers, and other small load parts made by deep drawing: The wire is used to make rivets.

Ⅰ-3: 3003 aluminum alloy coil features

3003 round aluminum coil is the most widely used aluminum alloy. It is made up of aluminum, copper, iron, manganese, silicon, and zinc. It is commonly used because it has great resistance to corrosion and is moderately strong. The 3003 aluminum coil is 20% stronger than 1100 grade alloys because it is fused with manganese, and the formability, weldability, and corrosion resistance are good.

Used for processing parts and components that require good formability, high corrosion resistance, and good weldability, or require both these properties and higher strength than 1000 series alloys, such as kitchen utensils, food, and chemical products. Storage devices, tanks, and tanks for transporting liquid products, various pressure vessels, and pipes made of thin plates, general utensils, heat sinks, cosmetic plates, photocopier rollers, and ship materials.

The machinability of the 3003 aluminum sheets rolls is considered good for being an aluminum alloy. It is readily machined for different applications. It can either be formed using conventional hot working or cold working. It’s also possible to use conventional welding methods to shape 3003 aluminum. It is sometimes welded to other aluminum alloys, like 6061, 5052, and 6062, which should have an AL 4043 filler rod.

Ⅰ-4: What does 3003 aluminum alloy coil used for?

The most common applications for the 3003 aluminum coil are for fuel tanks, sheet metal work, and other types of projects that need a metal that is stronger than the 1100 series aluminum. In some cases, it is used for food-grade cooking utensils, ice cub, radiator fin, refrigerator panels, construction, cell ceiling, gas lines, power battery, storage tanks, water tanks, thermoclad, roofing gutter, garage doors, windshield, builder’s hardware, and awning slats, etc

Ⅳ: 3003 aluminum plain coil packing

Wooden boxes or wooden pallets are common packaging methods for aluminum coils, which protect the product from damage during transportation. If further protection of the surface is required, it can be covered with plastic film and kraft paper according to customer needs. Generally speaking, a pack of 2 tons, 18-22 tons in a 1×20′ container, and 20-24 tons in a 1×40′ container.
