ALUMINUM ALLOY 3003 Foil Introduction
Aluminum Alloy 3003 Foil is a medium-strength alloy with excellent resistance to atmospheric corrosion. It also offers very good weldability and cold formability. Compared to the 1000 series alloys, it exhibits much higher elongation and tensile strength, especially at elevated temperatures.
ALUMINUM ALLOY 3003 Foil Application
Typically, Alloy 3003 Foil finds extensive use in various industries. In the building products sector, it is employed for roofing, siding, acoustic ceilings, and corrugated sheets. In the chemical and food industries, you can find Alloy 3003 in storage tanks, pipes, jacketing, HVAC metalwork equipment, and aluminum ductwork. Some common applications include heat exchangers, air conditioning evaporators, motor vehicle radiators, and freezer linings, among others.
Moreover, Aluminum Alloy 3003 Foil is widely utilized in home appliances, making its way into cooking utensils, bakery molds, and office equipment, among other everyday items.
