 Note: 3004 is an alloy which spontaneously softens after rolling until it reaches a stable condition. This process is accelerated by means of a stabilising anneal, giving the material an H3-temper. For this reason, 3004 is normally supplied in the H3-temper in which the stable condition is achieved before shipment.

Modulus of Elasticity: 69,000 MPa

Bend Radii: Minimum recommended internal bend radii for 90º cold bends at right angle to the rolling direction.

Welding: 3004 is readily welded by the TIG and MIG processes. Commonly used filler alloy is 4043. 3004 may also be gas welded or resistance welded, but the resulting joints are not as strong or as corrosion resistant as the inert gas welded joints. Moreover, gas welding could result in excessive heat distortion and, in thinner gauges, may burn through. It is essential that all traces of flux used in welding or brazing are removed by scrubbing with hot water upon completion.

Annealing: 345ºC ± 5ºC, until all parts have reached the annealing temperature.
