0.27mm 3000 Series Alloy Aluminium Coil 3104 3004 Package Aluminum Coil

3004 aluminum alloy is the preferred material for beverage and food containers due to its optimal
balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and processing efficiency.
3004 and 3104 aluminum alloys are commonly used for beverage can bodies, but they differ in
composition, performance, and application details.

1 Composition Differences

2 Key Differences

3104 has slightly lower Mn content and higher tolerance for Fe/Si, potentially reducing costs.

3004 offers marginally better corrosion resistance and strength, though 3104 can achieve similar
performance through process optimization.

3 Performance Comparison

Selection for Can Body Applications

3004:

Preferred for high-strength cans (e.g., carbonated beverage cans requiring pressure resistance).
Ideal for high-corrosion-resistance needs (e.g., beer cans).

3104:

More common for standard beverage cans (e.g., water, juice cans) due to lower cost and better
formability. Suitable for high-speed stamping production lines (higher efficiency).

Industry Trends

3104 is becoming mainstream due to cost advantages and optimized production processes.
3004 remains irreplaceable for high-pressure or high-corrosion-resistance applications.

Conclusion

Shared Traits:

Both are Al-Mn-Mg alloys, lightweight, recyclable, and ideal for can bodies.

Selection Criteria:

Choose 3004 for high strength/corrosion resistance.
Choose 3104 for cost-sensitive, high-volume production with demanding formability.
