The Al-Mn series' 3004 aluminum alloy is stronger than the 3003 aluminum plate and has better formability, solubility, and corrosion resistance. Its main uses include parts that require a greater strength threshold than the 3003 alloy, such as chemical products, storage devices, thin plate fabrication components, architectural baffles, cable trays, sewage pipes, and various lighting fixtures.
Aluminum Alloy 3004:
Composition: 1% magnesium and an aluminum-manganese alloy.
Use: Because of its high ductility and deep-drawing capabilities, it is primarily used for can bodies. It enables manufacturers to preserve structural integrity while reducing wall thickness, for example, from 0.42 mm in the 1970s to as low as 0.254 mm today 411.
Benefits include high recyclability and exceptional corrosion resistance against carbonated drinks.
Aluminum Alloy 5182:
Composition: Aluminum-magnesium alloy with trace silicon and a higher magnesium content (4-5%).
Use: Because of its medium strength and excellent weldability, it is perfect for pull tabs and lids. It can tolerate the strain of opening mechanisms 25.
Aluminum Alloy 5052:
Composition: 2.2-2.8% magnesium in an aluminum-magnesium alloy.
Use: Frequently applied to can bottoms and lids. For non-pressurized applications, such as juice cans 56, it provides good corrosion resistance and cold workability.
Aluminum Alloy 3104:
Composition: A more formable version of 3004.
Use: To cut costs and material consumption, it can be used in place of 3004 in some applications, especially for thinner gauges.
1. Core Use: Manufacturing Beverage Cans
Most beverage can aluminum coils are converted into three essential aluminum can components, each of which is designed to meet particular functional and mechanical needs:
(1)Is it Possible to Use Bodies Alloy? Usually aluminum alloys with a low magnesium content, such as 3004 or 3104.
Procedure: Using a sequence of presses, the coil is first cut into circular "can blanks," which are subsequently deep-drawn into cylindrical bodies.
To achieve lightweight durability, the walls are thinned (ironed) to a minimum thickness of 0.2 mm.
Function: Stores carbonated beverages, beer, juices, energy drinks, and other items that need to withstand high pressure and corrosion from acidic liquids.
(2) Can Lids and Ends Alloy Used: Because of its great strength and weldability, 5182 aluminum alloy (aluminum-magnesium, 4-5% Mg) is used for pressurized lids (such as those for carbonated drinks).
For better formability, use 5052 aluminum alloy (2–3% Mg) for non-pressurized lids (such as juice cans).
Procedure: The same alloy is used to stamp coils into lids with integrated pull tabs.
Resin liners are applied to lids to prevent corrosion and provide a hermetic seal.
Goal: Preserves product freshness while offering a safe, simple-to-open closure.
(3) Closures and Tabs Alloy: Because of their resilience to the strain of opening mechanisms, 5182 or 5042 aluminum alloys were selected for tabs.
Design: Customers can puncture the can without the need for tools thanks to tabs that are an essential part of the lid design.
