Aluminium 3004
3004 is a distinct wrought aluminium designation confirmed in a composition register and producer sheet portfolio.
Identity / state reference
What distinguishes this material
The producer sheet reference establishes that the product exists, but supplies no condition-specific mechanical limits.
- Designation in this reference
- 3004
- Forms covered by the sources
- Flat-rolled sheet
- States to distinguish or confirm
- Temper not established by the reviewed identity sources
- Temperature and exposure
- The reviewed 3004 identity sources do not give a temper, test temperature or mechanical-property table. Request a producer datasheet for the actual sheet condition.
Property evidence for a stated condition
No condition-specific numerical table is reproduced here
The linked sources establish the identity and the stated product/state scope. Obtain the row for your actual form, section, treatment and test conditions before adopting strength, hardness or a thermal limit.
Resolve these conditions next
- What exact temper, sheet thickness and inspection specification appear on the certificate?
- Obtain the full material certificate, governing specification/edition, product dimensions and test direction before adopting a property value.
For machining, take the exact grade, supplied condition and measured hardness where applicable into the tool maker’s application data. A generic material-family speed is not a substitute for an operation and tool-specific recommendation.

Corrections from the previous article
- Remove '20% more strength than 3003' and the unsourced 215 MPa/52 HB pair; do not invent a T temper.
- Remove the untraceable generic machining recommendation (230 %) and cutting-speed ranges; select machining data by actual material condition, tool and operation.
