What is the difference between 1000 series and 3000 series aluminum sheets?

Home » Blog » What is the difference between 1000 series and 3000 series aluminum sheets?

The main difference between 1000 series and 3000 series aluminum sheets is that the alloy elements are different, which leads to differences in hardness, strength, corrosion resistance, and application range.

1000 series aluminum sheet

1000 series aluminum sheets are industrial pure aluminum and usually contain minimal alloying elements, with an aluminum content between 99.0% and 99.9%.

Features: high purity, good electrical and thermal conductivity, relatively low cost, but mechanical strength and corrosion resistance are lower than those containing alloy elements.

Application: Mainly used in situations where purity requirements are high, strength requirements are not strict, and corrosion resistance requirements are average, such as wires and cables, internal linings of chemical reaction vessels, heat sinks, signage production, etc.

3000 series aluminum sheet

3000 series aluminum sheets are mainly aluminum-manganese alloys, typical representatives such as 3003, 3004 aluminum sheet, etc., which mainly add manganese as the main alloying element, and may also contain small amounts of other alloying elements.

Features: Compared with the 1000 series, the 3000 series aluminum alloy has enhanced corrosion resistance and improved strength while maintaining good processability and weldability.

Application: Due to its good corrosion resistance and processability, 3000 series aluminum sheets are often used in the manufacture of chemical storage tanks, roofing materials, decorative materials, food processing equipment, auto parts, and various types of containers, pipes and pressure vessels, especially It is more common in situations where certain strength and anti-corrosion properties are required.

The difference between 1000 series aluminum sheet and 3000 series aluminum sheet

The main difference between 1000 series and 3000 series aluminum sheets is that the alloy elements are different, which leads to differences in hardness, strength, corrosion resistance, and application range. So, what is the difference between 1000 series and 3000 series aluminum sheets?

1. Hardness and strength:

The 1000 series aluminum sheet is harder and stronger than the 3000 series aluminum sheet, but it is also more fragile. The 3000 series aluminum sheet has better processability and flexibility, and is very suitable for processing and forming.

2. Corrosion resistance:

The 3000 series aluminum sheet has very high corrosion resistance and can be used in humid environments for a long time without being affected by corrosion. The 1000 series aluminum sheet is very susceptible to oxidation and is more susceptible to environmental corrosion.

3. Application scope:

Aluminum sheet 1000 series is suitable for applications with high strength requirements such as aviation, aerospace, automobiles and other fields. Aluminum sheet 3000 series is mainly used in container making, construction, machinery and other fields.

4. Price:

The price of 1000 series aluminum sheet is relatively low due to its low production cost and mature production technology.

5. Density:

The density of 1000 series aluminum sheet is 2.7kg/dm3, which is about 35% of iron, while the density of 3000 series aluminum sheet is slightly higher.

6. Processing performance:

The 1000 series aluminum sheet has good plasticity and is suitable for various mechanical processing such as turning, milling, boring, planing, etc.
