3000 Series Aluminum Discs

3000 series aluminum discs is a round aluminum sheet made from 3000 series aluminum alloys, which are typically used in a variety of industrial and everyday applications, Manganese (Mn) is the main alloying element. 3000 series aluminum alloys usually have good formability, corrosion resistance, and weldability, and are widely used in a variety of industries.The specifications of 3000 series aluminum discs can be customized according to the customer’s needs, and the thickness usually ranges from 0.3mm to 5mm. The diameter can vary from a few centimeters to a few meters as required. The surface can be anodized, sprayed and other treatments as required.

The following is specific information about 3000 series aluminum discs, including common alloys, properties and main applications.

• Composition of 3000 series aluminum alloys

The common alloys of 3000 series alloy aluminum discs include:

– 3003: The most commonly used aluminum alloy with good formability and corrosion resistance, widely used in the manufacture of aluminum discs.

– 3004: Compared to 3003 aluminum, the 3004 aluminum alloy has a higher manganese content, providing better strength for applications requiring higher strength.

– 3105: Although often mentioned in the 3000 series aluminum alloy, it is more commonly used in construction and home appliances, with good corrosion resistance and machinability.

• Characteristics
