Selection Criteria
|
1060 Aluminum Coil
|
3003 Aluminum Coil
|
Recommended Scenarios
|
|---|---|---|---|
|
Alloy Composition
|
Industrial pure aluminum, aluminum content ≥99.6%
|
Aluminum-manganese alloy, containing 1%-1.5% manganese
|
No direct impact on selection, but determines performance differences
|
|
Mechanical Strength
|
Low strength, tensile strength: 110-136MPa; soft and easy to deform
|
20% higher strength than 1060, tensile strength: 120-195MPa; more durable
|
High-strength packaging (e.g., bottle caps, heavy-duty containers) → 3003; light-duty packaging → 1060
|
|
Formability
|
Excellent ductility, easy to bend, stamp, and deep draw; suitable for simple shaping
|
Good formability, better resistance to cracking than 1060 during complex stamping
|
Complex-shaped packaging (e.g., cosmetic caps, deep-drawn containers) → 3003; simple shapes → 1060
|
|
Corrosion Resistance
|
Good in ordinary environments; better than 3003 in salt spray environments
|
Excellent rust resistance (rust-proof aluminum), suitable for harsh environments
|
Outdoor/chemical packaging (e.g., chemical drums) → 3003; indoor/dry environment packaging → 1060
|
|
Food Safety
|
Non-toxic, meets FDA 21 CFR 175.300 standard; suitable for food contact
|
Non-toxic, FDA-compliant; safe for food, pharmaceutical packaging
|
Both are applicable; 3003 is preferred for food packaging requiring higher strength
|
|
Cost
|
Lower cost, cost-effective for large-scale light-duty packaging
|
Slightly higher cost than 1060, but cost-saving in long-term use due to durability
|
Budget-sensitive, light-duty packaging → 1060; high-demand, long-service-life packaging → 3003
|
|
Common Packaging Uses
|
Food cans, drug blister packaging, gift boxes, lightweight packaging bags
|
Bottle caps (wine, beverage, cosmetic), chemical drums, outdoor packaging, heavy-duty containers
|
Match according to specific packaging types
|
