3003 Aluminum Alloy – Plate, Sheet, and Tread Plate

3003 aluminum alloy is the most widely used of all aluminum alloys. It is essentially commercially pure aluminum with the addition of manganese which increases the strength approx. 20% over 1100 grade aluminum alloy. 3003 may show slight discoloration when anodized, but it reacts well to mechanical and organic finishings.

3003 Aluminum Plate, Sheet Features and Benefits
Aluminum 3003 is easily welded and brazed, but soldering is limited to the torch method. It has all the excellent characteristics of 1100 with higher strength. It has excellent corrosion resistance and workability and may be deep drawn or spun, welded, or brazed. Additional features include:
  • Excellent corrosion resistance
  • Weldable and formable
  • Non-heat treatable
  • Can be cold worked

It should be noted that aluminum alloy 3003 tends to be gummy when machined, but it will perform somewhat satisfactorily in the higher tempers with the proper set-up and maximum speeds.

3003 Aluminum Alloy Tread Plate

Also known as diamond plate, 3003 treadplate features a shiny surface with raised a diamond pattern. The surface features make it a popular choice for trim and ornamental applications. However, it is also strong and lightweight and commonly used to provide protection and traction in high traffic areas.
