Description of 3004 Aluminum Sheet
3004 aluminum sheet belongs to the 3000 series aluminum-manganese alloys, enhanced with 1% magnesium to significantly improve its strength over 3003, while maintaining excellent corrosion resistance and formability. It is a non-heat-treatable alloy, strengthened through cold working.
This alloy is widely used in applications requiring moderate strength and good weldability, such as roofing panels, siding, beverage cans, and insulated containers. Gengfei offers high-quality, wide-format 3004 sheets with smooth surface finishes and customizable specifications.

Comparison of Different Aluminum Alloy Sheets
| Alloy Series | Main Components | Key Characteristics | Ideal Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1xxx Series (e.g., 1060) | Pure Al (≥99.6%) | Excellent electrical/thermal conductivity, high corrosion resistance, but low strength. | Conductive materials, heat sinks, packaging, reflectors. |
| 3xxx Series (e.g., 3003) | Al-Mn (1.0% Mn) | Superior weather resistance, good weldability, 15%~20% higher strength than pure Al. | Building curtain walls, roof panels, marine interiors. |
| 5xxx Series (e.g., 5052) | Al-Mg (2.5% Mg) | Excellent seawater corrosion resistance, high plasticity, stable toughness at low temperatures. | Marine engineering, pressure vessels, shipbuilding. |
| 6xxx Series (e.g., 6061) | Al-Mg-Si (1.0% Mg+0.6% Si) | Balanced performance, high strength (heat-treatable), good machinability and weldability. | Construction frames, automotive parts, aerospace structures. |
| 7xxx Series (e.g., 7075) | Al-Zn-Mg-Cu (5.6% Zn) | Highest strength (super-hard alloy), but poor corrosion resistance (requires surface treatment). | Aerospace components, high-end molds, racing parts. |
Mechanical Property Comparison (Typical Values)
| Property | 1100-H14 | 3003-H14 | 5052-H32 | 6061-T6 |
| Tensile Strength (MPa) | 110-145 | 145-195 | 215-260 | 290-325 |
| Yield Strength (MPa) | 95 | 125 | 165 | 240 |
| Elongation (%) | 5-9 | 8-12 | 10-14 | 10-15 |
| Hardness (Brinell) | 32 | 40 | 60 | 95 |
Key Differences
- Strength: 5052 > 3003 > 1100 > 1050
- Corrosion Resistance: 5052 ≈ 1050 > 3003 > 1100
- Conductivity: 1050 > 1100 > 3003 > 5052
- Cost: 1050 < 1100 < 3003 < 5052
Surface Treatment Options
- Anodizing:
Enhances corrosion resistance and appearance (e.g., clear or colored finishes). - Electrophoretic Coating:
Provides a smooth, durable protective layer for decorative applications. - Powder Coating:
Offers high resistance to scratches and chemicals, ideal for outdoor use. - Brushing/Mirror Polish:
Creates a matte or reflective surface for aesthetic purposes. - Pre-Painting:
PVDF or PE coatings for UV resistance and color customization.
How to Choose the Right Aluminum Sheet?
✅ For electrical or thermal applications → 1060 is ideal due to its high conductivity.
✅ For higher strength needs → consider 3003 or 5052.
✅ For architectural decoration → 1060 is perfect thanks to good surface finish and formability.
✅ For welding or marine applications → 5052 or 6061 would be a better fit.
