ALUMINIUM ALLOY 3003 Foil Introduction
Aluminium Alloy 3003 Foil is a medium-strength alloy that meets atmospheric corrosion resistance requirements. It can be welded and cold formed. Compared with the 1000 series alloys, it has a higher elongation and tensile strength, particularly at elevated temperatures.

ALUMINIUM ALLOY 3003 Foil Applications
Alloy 3003 Foil is used in various sectors. In construction, it is utilised for roofs, cladding, acoustic ceilings and corrugated panels. In the chemical and food industries, the 3003 alloy is found in storage tanks, pipes, linings, HVAC metal equipment and aluminium channels. Common applications comprise heat exchangers, air-conditioning evaporators, automotive radiators and refrigerator linings.
Furthermore, Aluminium Alloy 3003 is used in household appliances and is present in cooking utensils, baking pans and office equipment.
