3003 Aluminum Plate Use Guidelines

The 3003 aluminum plate is widely used and plays a vital role in numerous industries.

Transportation: It is commonly employed in automotive, subway, railway, and high-speed train body structures, including doors, windows, racks, engine components, air conditioners, radiators, body panels, and wheel hubs. Its excellent performance ensures vehicle safety and reliability.

Packaging: In the form of thin sheets and foils, it is used to produce cans, lids, bottles, barrels, and packaging foil for beverages, food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, cigarettes, and industrial products.

Electronics & Appliances: It serves in busbars, conductors, electrical components, refrigerators, air conditioners, and cables, providing stable support for electronic devices.

Key Properties: Meeting Diverse Needs

As an Al-Mn series alloy, 3003 is one of the most widely used rust-proof aluminum alloys. Its strength is slightly higher than that of industrial pure aluminum. While it cannot be strengthened through heat treatment, its mechanical properties can be enhanced via cold working. Key characteristics include:

High plasticity in the annealed state, moderate plasticity in semi-hardened conditions, and low plasticity when fully cold-worked.

Excellent corrosion resistance and good weldability, though its machinability is relatively poor.

These properties make it adaptable to various working environments, meeting diverse application requirements.

Industry Applications: A Benchmark Material

In ship and aircraft manufacturing, 3003 aluminum plates demonstrate outstanding performance as vehicle materials and welded components. They are also an ideal choice for:

Fire-resistant pressure vessels

Refrigeration systems

TV towers

Drilling equipment

Missile components

Armor plating

In the power battery sector, 3003 aluminum is used for battery casings due to its:

Impact resistance and leak-proof durability, meeting strength and rigidity demands.

Lightweight nature, which reduces battery weight, enhances energy density, and improves vehicle range.
