Features of 3004 Aluminum Coil

3004 aluminum alloy can be cold worked (but not heat treated like other types of aluminum alloys) to produce a tempered state with higher strength but lower ductility.
3004 aluminum is usually rolled and extruded (for making beverage cans), but is not usually forged. As a forging alloy, it is not used for casting.
3004 aluminum coil has higher plasticity in the annealed state, better plasticity in the semi-cold hardened state, and lower plasticity in the cold hardened state. The anodized 3004 aluminum plate surface has enhanced corrosion resistance and can present a rich and colorful color.

3004 Aluminum Coil More Informations

Property	Description
Principal Design Features	This is an alloy of aluminum with magnesium and manganese. It is strengthened (hardened) by cold work only as it does not respond to heat treatment, other than annealing.
Machinability	The machinability of this alloy is considered to be excellent, especially in the hard temper. As is typical of the aluminum alloys an oil lubricant should be used for machining, although light cuts may be done dry.
Forming	AL 3004 is easily formed by either cold or hot working with conventional tooling.
Welding	The alloy is weldable by the standard methods. Best results are obtained by use of TIG or MIG welding with the same alloy as filler rod.
Heat Treatment	Heat treatment has no effect upon this alloy. It may be annealed after cold working however.
Hot Working	The hot working range (as for forging) is 260°C to 483°C. In that range the alloy is easily hot worked.
Cold Working	Cold working capability of this alloy is good: it can readily be cold worked up to a 75% reduction of area by conventional methods. Working beyond the 75% reduction requires an intermediate anneal.
Annealing	Annealing, during or following cold working, is done at 344°C, allowing adequate time for thorough heating, followed by air cooling.
Aging	Not applicable to this alloy.
Hardening	Cold working is the only means of producing the harder (H) tempers of this alloy.

3004 Aluminum Coil Applications

The main alloying element in 3004 aluminum coil is manganese, and its alloy strength increases with the increase of manganese content. It is widely used in blinds, lamp holder materials, coating coils, bottle cap materials, LCD backplanes, honeycomb materials, fuel tank materials, thin plate workpieces, building materials, building baffles, cable troughs, sewers, lamp parts, beverage cans, corrugated boards, colored aluminum plates, sockets, corrugated boards, colored aluminum plates, lamp holders, etc.

3004 aluminum sheet belongs to the AL-Mn alloy series and is usually used to manufacture some parts that require much higher strength than 3003.

3004 3104 H19 aluminum coils are widely used in the production of beverage cans. They have excellent deep drawing ability and ductility, and can seamlessly adapt to the high-speed stamping process of the can body press. In addition, they have a low ear knot rate after stretching, resulting in a seamless can body. The H19 state also provides it with sufficient strength, making it an ideal material for sealing beverage can bodies.
