At Ulbrinox, we offer a wide range of aluminum alloys for the manufacture of various products and applications for different industries. To achieve the ideal characteristics that our customers require, specific operations are used in our manufacturing processes for each aluminum.

Commonly, the finished aluminum metal belongs to the alloys of the 1000, 3000, 5000 or 8000 series. In general, alloys of the same series have similar characteristics.

In this article, we will focus on the 3000 series, which have moderate resistance to atmospheric and chemical agents, provide higher mechanical properties and have a better transformation capacity than pure aluminum.

3000 series aluminum alloys

The 3000 series aluminum alloys are composed of manganese and offer greater resistance, while maintaining an ideal malleability and corrosion resistance. They are not heat treatable but are ideal for welding and anodizing.

At Ulbrinox we offer a wide selection of 3000 series aluminum alloys:
