3004 3104 can body use aluminum coil strip Manufacturer
The 3004 3104 H19 aluminum coil strips are widely employed in the production of beverage cans. They boast exceptional deep-drawing capabilities and ductility, allowing them to seamlessly adapt to high-speed stamping processes on can body presses.
Moreover, they exhibit a low earing rate after stretching, resulting in the formation of seamless can bodies. The temper H19 also provides them with sufficient strength, making them ideal materials for airtight beverage can bodies.
3104 aluminum sheet is a type of aluminum alloy sheet known for its excellent formability and corrosion resistance. It’s often used in applications that require good workability, such as architectural cladding, kitchen utensils, and other consumer goods.
The “3104” designation is part of the 3xxx series of aluminum alloys, which are primarily alloyed with manganese (Mn) to improve strength and corrosion resistance without significantly affecting formability. The specific composition of 3104 typically includes around 1.0-1.5% manganese.
Properties of 3104 aluminum sheet include:
– Good corrosion resistance.
– Excellent formability and weldability.
– Moderate strength.
– Good surface finish capability.

Features of 3004 3104 can body aluminum coil strips
Excellent deep-drawing performance: with a 20% elongation rate, 3104 H19 aluminum coil strips are well-suited for the DI process (Drawing and Ironing) involved in can manufacturing.
Superior processability: thanks to their high ductility, 3004 3104 aluminum coil strips can easily undergo stretching, thinning, and other processing operations, reducing material consumption and bulk procurement costs.
Outstanding strength: the tensile strength of 3104 H19 aluminum coil strips reaches up to 275 MPa, while 3004 aluminum coil strips exhibit a balanced combination of ductility and rigidity, providing stable structural support for can sealing.
Corrosion resistance: the addition of magnesium and manganese elements in 3104 H19 aluminum coil strips enhances their oxidation and corrosion resistance, eliminating the need for pre-treatment of the inner and outer walls of aluminum cans. This makes them highly suitable for liquid beverage packaging, requiring only standard aluminum coatings/oils.
