Quick Answer for procurement
3005 aluminum strip (UNS A93005 / EN AW-3005 / AlMn1Mg0.5) is a non-heat-treatable 3000-series alloy with 1.0–1.5% Mn, 0.20–0.60% Mg, density 2.73 g/cm³, tensile 115–245 MPa (O to H18). It delivers about 20% higher strength than 3003 with the same excellent formability and corrosion resistance, plus the best paint-adhesion of the common strip alloys — which is why it is the go-to substrate for color-coated building facades, roofing and appliance panels. HXM slits 0.1–6.0 mm × 3–1,300 mm strip to ±0.05 mm, lead time 12–25 days, MOQ 500 kg, quote in 24 h.
Why specify 3005 aluminum strip?
- ~20% stronger than 3003 — same alloy family, more strength for the same formability budget.
- Best paintability of common strips — top substrate for PE / PVDF coil coating on facades, roofing, appliances.
- Excellent formability — deep draws, stamps and bends cleanly in O and H2x tempers.
- Good corrosion resistance — atmospheric, humid and moderate-marine environments; weldable by MIG/TIG/spot.
- Cost-efficient — mid-tier price between 1000-series pure Al and 5000/6000-series; no heat-treat premium.
3005 strip is the standard choice when a part needs moderate strength + great surface + paintability — building cladding, appliance panels, automotive trim and HVAC components.

Where 3005 strip is used (building, appliance, auto & HVAC)
Typical uses: building & architectural — roofing, siding, gutters, fascia, flashing, soffits, curtain-wall & color-coated facade panels, louvers, Venetian blinds · appliances — refrigerator liners, oven/range-hood panels, lamp caps · automotive — interior trim, heat shields, underbody shields, battery-enclosure parts · HVAC & heat exchangers — AC fins, radiators, refrigerator liners · packaging & cookware — closures, bottle caps, containers · signage, nameplates & lighting reflectors · transformer strip & busbars (moderate conductivity). 3005 is the preferred painted-facade substrate because its surface takes PE / PVDF coil coating with the best long-term adhesion of the common strip alloys.
Buyer pain points — and how HXM solves each
Pain #1
Wrong alloy for a painted facade — 3005 vs 3105 mix-up ships strip that fails coating adhesion.
HXM solution
We confirm alloy & temper per EN 573-3 and supply the MTC with chemistry; 3005 is our standard painted-facade substrate.
Pain #2
Width out of tolerance — slit edges cause feeding & die jams on progressive presses.
HXM solution
Slit to ±0.05 mm (±0.02 mm premium), edge burr ≤0.05 mm, laser-measured every coil with the report attached.
Pain #3
Coil set / camber wrecks unwinding on automated lines.
HXM solution
Tension-levelled strip, camber ≤1.0 mm/m (≤0.5 mm/m premium); coil set controlled for clean pay-off.
Pain #4
Surface scratches/stains ruin a coil-coating line — reject after painting.
HXM solution
100% surface inspection, protective film / interleaving on request, moisture-barrier export wrap.
Pain #5
Long lead from western mills — 30+ days, +30% for coated strip.
HXM solution
3005 strip slit from running master coils; 12–25 day lead, color-coating partners for PE/PVDF on request.

Frequently asked questions (3005 aluminum strip)
What width tolerance can HXM hold on 3005 strip?
±0.05 mm is standard on every slit width; ±0.02 mm is available for die-critical applications. Each coil is laser-measured and the report ships with the mill certificate.
What thickness and width range do you slit?
0.1–6.0 mm thick and 3–1,300 mm wide from master coils up to 2,650 mm; thinner or wider on request. Width, thickness, camber and edge condition are all specifiable per order.
3005 strip vs 3003 strip — which should I buy?
3005 is about 20% stronger than 3003 at the same temper and paints better, so it is preferred for color-coated facades, roofing and appliance panels. Choose 3003 when you need the deepest draw or the lowest cost (HVAC fins, cookware). Both weld well.
Can 3005 strip be color-coated or anodized?
Yes — 3005 has the best paint adhesion of the common strip alloys and is the standard PE / PVDF coil-coating substrate for building facades. It also anodizes and embosses cleanly. Specify PE or PVDF and we arrange coating with our partners.
Is 3005 strip weldable?
Yes — weldable by MIG, TIG, spot and resistance methods with good joint strength and low porosity. Post-weld surface treatment restores full corrosion protection on coated parts.
What is the MOQ and lead time?
MOQ is 500 kg per thickness-width combination; widths slit from running master coils can be smaller. Lead time is 12–25 days ex-works, faster from stock widths; sea transit 25–35 days.
