Between its good workability, moderate strength, and reasonable corrosion resistance, 3003 aluminum sheet is considered a workhorse product that shows up in a wide range of industries and applications.
It has high tensile strength and good corrosion resistance. On the other hand, the aluminum does not respond to heat treatment.
It is often used in the manufacturing and chemical industries.
Some typical applications for this aluminum grade are pressure vessels, gas lines, storage tanks, cooking utensils, ice cube trays, and more.
It has good machinability.
This aluminum sheet has good weldability. To increase the strength of aluminum 3003, you can use cold welding.
This grade is not heat treatable.

ANSWER:
3003 aluminum is a general purpose alloy that demonstrates moderate strength, good formability, workability, and can be easily drawn. It shows about 20% greater strength than 1100 aluminum and its primary alloying element is manganese. It shows up in everyday products from hardware and utensils to general sheet metal fabrication and automotive components. It is considered very similar to 3004. The key difference between the two aluminum grades is strength. Unlike 3003 aluminum 3004 has an addition of 1% magnesium which lends it greater strength, nearing the levels of 5052 aluminum.
ANSWER:
Yes. 3003 is considered one of the most popular aluminum sheet grades utilized in automotive applications. It is mainly used for non-structural components, bracketry, and HVAC applications.
ANSWER:
Yes. The 3xxx aluminum series is considered among the easiest aluminum alloys to weld.
