Features of 3004 Aluminium Coil
- Cold Working: 3004 aluminum alloy can be cold worked to achieve a higher strength temper but not heat treated.
- Rolling and Extrusion: Commonly used in the production of beverage cans but not typically forged. As a forging alloy, it is not used for casting.
- Plasticity: 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.

More Information on 3004 Aluminium Coil
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.
Hardening
- Cold working is the only means of producing the harder (H) tempers of this alloy.
