3003 aluminum has the same characteristics as 1100, but higher strength. This soft aluminum tubing is essentially commercially pure with the addition of manganese which increases its strength. Has excellent corrosion resistance, workability, which may be deep drawn or spun, welded or brazed. Received in 50 ft lengths.

Description
3003-0 aluminum round tubing refers to a specific type of aluminum tubing made from the 3003 alloy in the annealed (0) temper condition. Let’s break down what each part of the designation signifies:
- 3003 Alloy: This alloy is composed primarily of aluminum, with manganese as the major alloying element. It’s known for its excellent formability, corrosion resistance, and weldability. The 3003 alloy is commonly used in various applications, including cooking utensils, chemical equipment, and automotive parts.
- 0 Temper: The “0” temper designation indicates that the aluminum has been annealed, which involves heating the metal to a certain temperature and then allowing it to cool slowly. Annealing softens the aluminum, making it more ductile and easier to work with. In the case of aluminum tubing, the 0 temper indicates that the tubing is fully annealed and in its softest state.
- Round Tubing: This specifies the shape of the aluminum tubing. Round tubing has a circular cross-section and is commonly used in structural applications, such as support beams, frames, and roll cages, as well as in fluid and gas transport systems.
3003-0 aluminum round tubing is often used in various industries, including construction, automotive, marine, and manufacturing, due to its combination of strength, formability, and corrosion resistance. It’s suitable for applications where lightweight materials with good mechanical properties are required, and its soft temper allows for easy manipulation and fabrication during manufacturing and installation processes.
Q & A
Hi I’m trying to find this tubing that fits in standard oxygen line tubes for breathing.
The tubing I believe is 5,6,7 mm I’d.
I need some profit inside this to make oxygen glasses with.
Thank you
James Brogen
James, we don't stock any MM tubing.
