3003 H14 aluminum alloy is a heat-treated state of the 3003 series aluminum alloy. The H14 state is achieved through strain hardening, which makes the alloy's strength fall between the fully annealed state (O) and the fully hardened state (H18).
3003 aluminum alloy cannot be further enhanced through heat treatment. The H14 state: Achieved through strain hardening, making the alloy's strength fall between the annealed state (O) and the fully hardened state (H18).
3003 H14 aluminum is commonly used to manufacture metal sheet parts, including panels, pipes, and cabinets. It is also widely used in the packaging industry for producing food and beverage cans and in the construction industry for producing roofing and wall panel materials. Due to its excellent corrosion resistance, it is frequently used in marine and chemical processing applications.
Common Uses: Widely used in various general-purpose fields.
| Application Field | Description |
| Container Manufacturing | 3003 H14 aluminum sheet is widely used in container manufacturing due to its excellent corrosion resistance and good forming properties. It is often used for food cans and cosmetic containers. Its antioxidant capability effectively protects the internal items from external environmental influences, while its smooth surface characteristics facilitate attractive design and label printing on the containers. |
| Roofing Materials | 3003 H14 aluminum sheet is highly favored for building roofing materials due to its outstanding corrosion resistance and lightweight properties. This aluminum sheet can withstand harsh weather conditions such as rain, snow, and strong winds, while also reducing the load on building structures and extending the roof's service life. |
| Automotive Components | 3003 H14 aluminum sheet is commonly used in the manufacturing of automotive components and interior parts due to its ease of processing into various complex shapes and its high cost-effectiveness. The sheet's corrosion resistance and lightweight features contribute to improved fuel efficiency and reduced maintenance and repair costs for the vehicle. |
| Home Appliance Enclosures and Decorative Materials | 3003 H14 aluminum sheet is widely applied in the production of home appliance enclosures and decorative materials due to its excellent surface treatment performance. It can undergo anodizing, electrophoresis, or coating processes to achieve diverse colors and textures, while providing a durable protective layer that enhances the product's aesthetic appeal and durability. |
