Aluminium 3003 is a non-heat-treatable alloy, primarily composed of manganese (1.0–1.5%). It boasts greater strength compared to pure aluminium (like 1100), with a typical tensile strength ranging from 140 to 200 MPa and a yield strength of about 115 MPa. This alloy is known for its outstanding corrosion resistance, particularly in marine and chemical environments, while also maintaining good formability and weldability. Although it’s not the best choice for machining critical parts due to its relatively soft nature, it excels in bending, rolling, and forming processes. Aluminium 3003 is the ideal choice for applications that require a blend of moderate strength and excellent workability.
