What Does 3003-O Mean?

3003 is the alloy designation for this aluminum material, indicating its chemical composition.

O stands for annealed. In the O-temper condition, aluminum is fully annealed, which means it is in its softest state with the lowest strength but the highest ductility and formability.

The aluminum plate designated 3003 is an alloy plate mainly made of aluminum and a small amount of manganese. The number 3003 refers to the specific alloy composition, indicating that it contains approximately 98% aluminum and 1% manganese. This alloy is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, formability, and weldability, making it a popular choice in a variety of applications.

The "O" in the 3003O aluminum plate indicates that the plate has been annealed to improve ductility and reduce internal stress. Annealing involves heating a sheet of aluminum and then gradually cooling it, making it softer and easier to work with.

What Are the Key Properties of the 3003-O Aluminum Plate?

• 3003-O aluminum has excellent formability, making it easy to bend, shape, and form without cracking.
• It has good corrosion resistance, particularly in mildly corrosive environments.
• It is not heat-treatable, meaning it cannot be strengthened through heat-treatment processes.

Can a 3003-O Aluminum Plate Be Anodized?

Yes, 3003-O aluminum can be anodized. Anodizing is a surface treatment process that can improve the material's corrosion resistance and appearance. However, the formability of the O temper can be affected by the anodizing process, so it's essential to consider the specific requirements of your project.

What Are the Limitations of the 3003-O Aluminum Plate?

While 3003-O aluminum offers excellent formability, it has lower mechanical strength compared to other tempers of 3003 aluminum. It may not be suitable for applications requiring high strength.

How Does 3003-O Compare to Other Tempers of 3003 Aluminum Plate?

3003-O is the softest temper of 3003 aluminum, offering the highest formability but the lowest strength. Other tempers, such as H14 and H22, provide increased strength at the expense of some formability.

3003 O Aluminum Plate Mechanical Behavior

The mechanical properties of the 3003 O aluminum plate include relatively low tensile strength, high elongation, and good formability.

• Tensile Strength: Typically between 13, 000 psi (90 MPa) and 23, 000 psi (160 MPa).
• Yield Strength: Approximately 5, 000 psi (35 MPa) to 16, 000 psi (110 MPa).
• Elongation: Typically in the range of 30% to 40% or more. This means it can deform significantly before fracturing.
• Modulus of Elasticity: Approx. 10, 000 ksi (70 GPa). This value represents the stiffness or resistance to deformation of the material under an applied load.

It should be noted that the mechanical properties of aluminum will vary slightly depending on factors such as alloy composition, manufacturing process, and heat treatment. The values provided above are typical ranges and should be used as a general reference.
