What is 3105 aluminum

3105 Aluminum is an aluminum alloy commonly used in construction, food canning and train tracks. Our common fruit cans are made of it 3105 aluminum alloy.

The following is a detailed introduction about it:

1. Its composition:

• Aluminum: It is the main component, the content is usually between 98.0%-99.5%, which gives the alloy good lightweight performance and workability.
• Manganese: It is an important component of the alloy with a content between 0.50% and 0.80%.
• Iron: Iron as one of the common impurity elements, the content of 0.0% – 0.7%, but usually controlled at low levels to maintain excellent performance.
• Silicon: It is used as a trace element, and its content is generally below 0.50%. It mainly increases the hardness of 3105 aluminum.

2. 3105 aluminum performance characteristics:

Strength and hardness: it has medium strength and hardness, the hardness is about HB45-55, and the tensile strength is 95-140MPa.

Corrosion resistance: it has good resistance to atmospheric and seawater corrosion, oxidation, corrosion, chemical properties are stable, can be in many corrosive media for a long time to maintain good performance.

Machinability: This alloy material has good adaptability to riveting, welding and cutting processes. Can be processed into a variety of complex shapes.

3105 aluminum alloy product features:

1. good corrosion resistance:

3105 aluminum has excellent resistance to atmospheric corrosion due to a certain amount of manganese. It is particularly resistant to corrosion in marine climates and industrial atmospheres. This makes it widely used in buildings and facilities that require long-term exposure to outdoor or corrosive environments.

2. Medium strength and hardness:

3105 aluminum has medium strength and hardness. It is capable of meeting the needs of most structural components and parts. At the same time, its toughness is relatively good, not easy to break or deformation during processing and use.

3. Excellent appearance and decorative properties:

3105 aluminum alloy has a smooth surface and uniform color. It can be subjected to various surface treatments, such as anodic oxidation, spraying, electrophoresis and so on. To obtain the desired appearance and decorative effect. This makes it widely used in construction, furniture, electronic products and other fields.

Common applications in our life:

1. Building materials:

It can be processed by aluminum extrusion. Manufactured into building exterior wall panels, roofing materials and so on. Due to its corrosion resistance, it is especially suitable for outdoor construction.

2. Transportation tracks:

It can be used in the manufacture of railroad trains and the tracks of variable gauge trains.3105 aluminum profile has moderate strength and hardness, which is suitable for structural components of transportation.

3. food packaging:

It is commonly used in the manufacture of food cans, beverage cans, cosmetic cans and so on. Its good formability and corrosion resistance make it ideal for packaging materials. Our common Fanta, Coke brands are using it as can material.

Summarize

3105 aluminum is an important metal material. It has a huge impact on our life, so we should recycle aluminum metal materials after understanding it.
