Product Description
3004 aluminum sheet is a medium-strength alloy, belonging to the Al-Mn series (3000 series), known for its excellent formability, corrosion resistance, and weldability. This alloy is primarily composed of aluminum with manganese and magnesium as the main alloying elements. It cannot be strengthened by heat treatment but can be cold worked to achieve higher strength.
