An alloy’s temper refers to its hardness. Aluminum 5182 is available in various tempers, from F to H ratings. F temper alloys are fabricated, while O tempers are made from an annealed metal. When H is used to describe the temper, it means the material is not heat treatable.
The available tempers for 5182 aluminum include:
An F temper means the alloy is fabricated, or semi-finished while an O temper means the metal is annealed. O temper aluminum 3004 typically has a lower strength than other tempers. H tempers are strain-hardened and are usually not heat-treatable.
In addition to a range of tempers, 3004 aluminum sheet metal is available in several thicknesses and dimensions.
The elements in 3004 aluminum are:
| SI | FE | CU | MN | MG | ZN | Other |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.3% | 0.7% | 0.25% | 1.0-1.5% | .8-1.3% | 0.25% | 0.05% |
The presence of magnesium in 3004 sets it apart from 3003. Aluminum makes up the remainder of the chemical composition of the alloy.
The mechanical properties, such as hardness and shear strength, of aluminum 3004 vary based on the metal’s temper. We can help you choose the right temper based on the mechanical needs of your project.
