3004 Aluminum | 3004 Aluminum Plate

Introduction to 3004 Aluminum Plate:

3004 aluminum is also a series of aluminum-manganese alloys. It has higher strength than 3003 aluminum sheet, excellent formability and good corrosion resistance. It requires higher strength parts than 3003 alloy.

Characteristics of 3004 Aluminum:

3004 aluminum plate 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 cannot be heat-treated. Therefore, using cold working to improve its mechanics performance: It has high plasticity in the annealed state, good plasticity in semi-cold hardening, low plasticity in cold work hardening, good corrosion resistance, good weldability and poor machinability.

Use of 3004 Aluminum:

3004 aluminum plate has good moldability, weldability, and corrosion resistance. We used it process parts that require good formability, high corrosion resistance, or require both these properties and work with higher strength than 1XXX alloys, such as kitchenware, food, and chemical processing, storage device, tanks for transporting liquid products, various pressure vessels and pipes, general radiators, heat sinks, cosmetic plates, photocopier drums, marine materials
3004 aluminum strip is mainly used in chemical production and storage equipment, sheet metal processing parts, building materials, building baffles, cable ducts, sewers, various lighting parts, beverage cans, wave boards, building materials, color aluminum plates, electric lamp heads.

The basic principle of 3004 aluminum:

1.3004 The aluminum base state code is represented by an English capital letter.
2. The subdivision status code is represented by a base status code followed by one or more digits.
3. Basic status code
Basic status is divided into 5 types
Code Name Description and application
F Free-machining condition Applicable to products that have no special requirements for work hardening and heat treatment conditions during the molding process. The mechanical properties of the product are not specified.

O Annealed state Suitable for processed products that have been fully annealed to obtain the lowest strength.
H Work hardening state Applicable to products that increase strength by work hardening. The product can be subjected to additional heat treatment after work hardening (with or without) to reduce the strength.
W Solid-melt heat treatment state Treatment state An unstable state, only applicable to alloys that are naturally aged at room temperature after solution heat treatment. This state code only indicates that the product is in the natural aging stage.
T Heat treatment state (different from F, O, H state) Applicable to products that have been stabilized after (or without) work hardening after heat treatment. The T code must be followed by one or more Arabic digits. The first digit after the T word indicates the basic type of heat treatment (from 1 to 10), after which the digits indicate changes in the details of the heat treatment. Such as 6061-T 62; 5083-H 343 and so on.
