The textured surface on these sheets increases rigidity and hides fingerprints and dents.

3003 aluminum stands up to outdoor use, as well as exposure to chemicals. It offers a good combination of strength, formability, and weldability. It's often used for storage tanks, heat exchangers, and general sheet metal work.

These sheets and bars are tempered to a 1/2-hard or full-hard state to make them over twice as strong as standard 1100 aluminum.
