3105 Aluminum
Stronger than other non-heat treatable alloys
3105 aluminum is 98% pure premium aluminum alloy with some minor additions for strength. Its corrosion resistance, formability and welding characteristics are excellent, but it cannot be hardened by heat treatment. The 3000 series aluminum metals are 20% stronger than the 1000 series metals with excellent properties for both forming and welding.
Shapes and forms
We carry several forms of 3105 aluminum, including sheet and coil.
Applications for 3105 aluminum
Due to 3105 aluminum’s strength, workability and corrosion resistance, it’s a great all-purpose aluminum alloy with many potential applications, such as:
Tempers
At CDM, we offer a range of 3105 aluminum tempers, including:

Our 3105 aluminum is available in a variety of surface finishes, including standard mill finish, prepainted sheet, painted coil or in a bright finish.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are 3105 aluminum’s properties?
3105 aluminum’s mechanical properties vary based on temper. Its physical properties include a density of 0.0939-0.101 lb/in3 and a melting point of 1185°F.
What are 3105 aluminum’s common uses?
3105 aluminum is suitable for a variety of uses due to its strength, workability and corrosion resistance, but you’ll find it most often in sheet metal work and non-critical building applications, such as residential siding, mobile home construction, and rain-carrying products.
How would you compare aluminum 3105 vs. 3003?
3105 aluminum is extremely similar to 3003 aluminum in terms of corrosion resistance and workability/formability, but its higher magnesium content gives it a slightly greater tensile strength. for a detailed comparison between 3003 and 3105 aluminum, click here.
How is 3105 aluminum vs. 6061?
3105 and 6061 are two very common aluminum alloys. 3105 aluminum offers greater bendability and formability than 6061, while magnesium and silicon elements make 6061 aluminum a stronger alloy.
