3104 Aluminum Coil For Can End
3104 H48 aluminum coil is commonly used to produce aluminum can end for products such as beverage cans, beer cans, ropp bottle, and other can end.
3104 H48 is a product when 3104 aluminum is tempered to H48 state. After tempering, the strength of 3104 H48 aluminum is higher than that of 3104 H19 aluminum (can body material). It has the same metal composition as the 3104 alloy. As shown in the following table.
| Alloy | Manganese (Mn) | Magnesium (Mg) | Iron (Fe) | Silicon (Si) | Copper (Cu) | Zinc (Zn) | Titanium (Ti) | Vanadium (V) | Gallium (Ga) | Residuals | Aluminum (Al) |
| 3104 | 0.8-1.4 | 0.8-1.3 | ≤0.8 | ≤0.6 | 0.05~0.25 | ≤0.25 | ≤0.1 | ≤0.05 | ≤0.05 | ≤0.15 | 95.1-98.4 |
3104 aluminum is usually delivered in big roll in packages of aluminum coil, or it can be slit into aluminum strip on request and delivered in the desired width.
Properties of 3104 H48 aluminum coil
Physical Properties
The physical properties of 3104 H48 aluminum include light weight, high reflectivity, good thermal conductivity and good electrical conductivity.
Mechanical Properties
It is strong, malleable and stretchable. It is suitable for deep drawing processes, stretching and forming without cracking or tearing.
Corrosion resistance
3104 H48 aluminum also has good corrosion resistance and can be applied to the packaging of water or other corrosive objects. It can also be coated with a protective layer, such as lacquer or paint, to further improve its corrosion resistance.
Applications for 3104 H48 aluminum coil
Beverage cans
3104 H48 aluminum coil is commonly used in the production of beverage can end. The higher strength allows it to withstand the pressure of carbonated beverages.
Food packaging
It is also used in the production of food packaging, such as aluminum trays. This is because of its light weight, high strength and corrosion resistance.
Other products
It is also used in the production of other products, such as cosmetic container lids and electronics housings.
