Almuinum Tube 3003

 Almuinum Tube 3003

3003 aluminum alloy belongs to the 3000 series It is a kind of Mn-Al alloy. Besides Mn, other metal elements include silicon, iron, copper and zinc.

Like other 3000 series aluminum alloys, 3003 aluminum alloys are not heat treatable. It can only be hardened by cold work. Due to the addition of manganese, its strength is higher than that of the 1000 series aluminum alloy. But compared with other heat treatable aluminum alloys, 3003 aluminum has no advantages. it belongs to a medium strength alloy.

Although the strength of 3003 aluminum alloy is not very high, it also has many advantages. The main purpose of this article is to introduce the 3003 aluminum alloy.

Characteristic

1. Weldability: 3003 aluminum alloy has good weldability and can be welded and brazed by all methods.
2. Corrosion resistance: The corrosion resistance of 3003 aluminum alloy is very good. Close to the corrosion resistance of industrial pure aluminum. It is good for atmosphere, fresh water, sea water, food, organic acid, gasoline, dilute acid solution and neutral inorganic salt solution corrosion resistance.
3. Plasticity: It has high plasticity in the annealed state, good plasticity in semi-cold work hardening. Low plasticity in cold work hardening.
4. Machinability: 3003 aluminum alloy is easy to machine and can be machined very well.
