3105 Aluminum Plate Sheet
Alloy 3105 Aluminum Plate
Sheet
Aluminum alloy
3105 plate sheet is essentially a 98% aluminum alloy with minor additions to
increase strength over that of alloy 1100 and 3003, It is not hardenable by heat
treatment and it has good corrosion resistance, formability and wedability.
Typical
applications include general sheet metal work requiring greater strength than is
provided by 1000 series aluminum alloys, residential siding, mobile homes and
sign making.
Applications
Commonly used in the
manufacture of residential siding, mobile homes, and rain carrying goods.
commonly used in sheet metal work. Commonly used for coating with lacquer for
curtain wall, outside of construction.
Fabrication and Heat
Treatment
Machinability
Aluminium / Aluminum 3105
alloy plate sheet has average machinability. However, its machinability can be
increased in harder tempers than in annealed condition. Oil lubricants are used
for machining this alloy.
Forming
Aluminium / Aluminum 3105
alloy plate sheet has good forming characteristics. It is suggested that bend
radii should be used in one thickness to 2 t range for annealed H12, H14 and H16
tempers. Bend radii of 2 to 7 t should be used for the H18
temper.
Welding
Aluminium / Aluminum 3105
alloy plate sheet has good weldability. It can be welded using arc welding
method.
Heat
Treatment
Aluminium / Aluminum 3105
alloy plate sheet does not react to heat treatment except during cold
working.
Forging
Aluminium / Aluminum 3105
alloy plate sheet can be forged at the temperatures ranging from 372 to 510째C
(700 to 950째F).
Hot
working
Aluminium / Aluminum 3105
alloy plate sheet can be hot worked at 205 to 372째C (400 to
700째F)
Cold
Working
Aluminium / Aluminum 3105
alloy plate sheet has good cold working characteristics in the harder cold
worked tempers.
Annealing
Aluminium / Aluminum 3105
alloy plate sheet is annealed at 344째C (650째F) followed by cooling in
air.
Hardening
Aluminium / Aluminum 3105
alloy plate sheet can be hardened only by cold working in H12, 14, 16, 18 or 25
tempers.
