🧱 Aluminum 3104 – Stronger and Smarter Upgrade from Aluminum 3003

Looking for a high-performance aluminum alloy for your industrial or packaging projects?
At Minh Dung Holdings, we specialize in manufacturing and supplying high-quality aluminum sheets, coils, and alloys, including Aluminum 3104 – a material trusted by global brands for its strength, durability, and corrosion resistance.

⚙️ 1. Same Alloy Family, Different Performance Level

Both Aluminum 3003 and Aluminum 3104 belong to the Al–Mn (Aluminum–Manganese) alloy family, known for their excellent workability and corrosion resistance.
The key improvement in 3104 lies in the addition of magnesium (Mg), which boosts tensile strength and overall toughness, making it ideal for modern industrial applications.

Property	Aluminum 3003	Aluminum 3104
Main Alloying Elements	Al–Mn	Al–Mn–Mg
Tensile Strength	~130 MPa	~230 MPa
Deep Drawing Ability	Good	Excellent
Corrosion Resistance	Good	Outstanding
Common Applications	Utensils, tanks	Beverage cans, panels, casings

💪 2. Stronger and More Flexible

With a higher magnesium content, Aluminum 3104 achieves an ideal balance between strength and formability.
It resists deformation during deep drawing, pressing, and rolling — all while maintaining lightweight properties.

💡 That’s why global beverage manufacturers like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Heineken have adopted Aluminum 3104 for their can bodies.
It ensures structural integrity, cost efficiency, and excellent surface finish, even after high-speed production.

🧩 3. Superior Corrosion Resistance

Aluminum 3104 provides enhanced protection against oxidation, moisture, and chemical exposure, outperforming 3003 in harsh environments.
Its durable oxide film ensures long-lasting brightness, no discoloration, and minimal maintenance, making it ideal for outdoor and marine applications.

🛠️ 4. Versatile Industrial Applications

Beyond beverage packaging, Aluminum 3104 is widely used across multiple industries:

Construction: wall cladding, roofing, industrial panels
Electronics: casings, cooling plates, solar panel frames
Transportation: truck bodies, container floors, lightweight vehicles
Machinery: housings, components, precision-engineered parts

Thanks to its high performance and recyclability, 3104 is a sustainable solution for companies pursuing eco-friendly manufacturing.

🌟 5. When 3104 Becomes the New Standard

While Aluminum 3003 remains a dependable choice for general purposes, 3104 delivers a clear performance leap — stronger, lighter, and more corrosion-resistant.
As industries move toward greener, high-efficiency materials, Aluminum 3104 stands out as the new standard for modern manufacturing.
