3004 3104 H19 Aluminum Coil Strip for Can Body

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.

Chemical composition of 3004 3104 can body aluminum coil strips

Physical properties of 3004 3104 can body aluminum coil strips

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.

Application of 3004 3104 aluminum coil strips for can body

3004 3104 belong to the 3xxx series of Al-Mn alloys. They exhibit excellent deep-drawing properties, corrosion resistance, and processability, making them widely used in various applications such as lampshades, blinds, roofing materials, aluminum substrates for oxidation, and coated aluminum materials.

In the realm of metal packaging for beverage cans, they are primarily utilized for the production of soft drinks, beverage cans, beer cans, tea beverages, functional beverages, protein drinks, and more.

Chalco's best-selling aluminum materials for beverage cans

As is widely known, beverage cans consist of three integral components: the can body, can lid, and pull-tab ring. The can body is formed through high-speed stamping on deep-drawing presses, resulting in a seamless can body. The can lid is later attached through a curling process, facilitated by the excellent ductility of 3104 aluminum, ensuring a secure connection between the lid and the can body.

Currently, the most commonly used aluminum alloys for overall beverage can manufacturing are 3003-H14, 3104-H19, 5182-H48, and 5052-H48 aluminum can alloys. Their specific applications are outlined as follows:

3004 3104 aluminum coil strips for can body

3004 3104 aluminum alloy coils are the primary materials used for can bodies. 3104 belongs to the Al-Mn alloys category. The addition of the main alloying element, manganese (Mn), enhances the mechanical properties of the alloy without compromising its corrosion resistance. The most commonly used 3104-H19 aluminum coil for can bodies offers exceptional deep-drawing capability and robust corrosion resistance.

5052 5182 aluminum sheet coils for can lids

5052 5182 aluminum alloys are the most widely used materials for can lids. These 5xxx series aluminum-magnesium alloys offer excellent ductility and high strength, allowing easy production of various lid sizes. The 5052-H48 temper, with its moderate strength, can withstand the stresses of carbonated beverages and other gas metal packaging, making it an ideal material for lid production.

5182 aluminum sheet coils for can pull tabs

5182 aluminum alloy is the most representative material for pull-tab manufacturing. Classified under the 5xxx series of aluminum-magnesium rust-resistant alloys, 5182 aluminum sheets have a magnesium (Mg) content ranging from 4% to 5%. They exhibit excellent corrosion resistance and processability, along with high tensile strength, making them well-suited for aluminum pull-tab production with specific hardness requirements.
