ASTM B209 3105-H14/H24 Aluminum Coil
ASTM B209 3105-H14 H24 Aluminum Coil Overview
ASTM B209 3105-H14 H24 Aluminum Coil is a non-heat-treatable aluminum-manganese alloy product commonly selected for architectural, coated and general fabrication applications. The alloy offers good corrosion resistance, practical formability and economical processing performance.
SASA ALUMINUM supplies 3105 aluminum coil in H14 and H24 tempers according to project specifications. Thickness, width, coil ID/OD, coil weight, surface finish, coating, edge condition and processing requirements can be reviewed according to customer drawings and downstream production needs.
Coil coating, surface condition and mechanical-property targets should be defined with the order to ensure the selected temper and dimensions are suitable for the intended fabrication process.

3105-H14 vs 3105-H24 Temper Selection
H14 and H24 are both strain-hardened tempers, but they differ in processing route and forming behavior. The correct temper should be selected according to forming depth, coating process, final geometry and mechanical-property requirements.
| Temper | Condition | Main Characteristic | Typical Selection |
|---|---|---|---|
| H14 | Strain Hardened, Half-Hard | Balanced strength and forming performance | General sheet metal, roofing, siding and fabricated components |
| H24 | Strain Hardened and Partially Annealed | Useful balance of strength and formability for coated and formed products | Prepainted coil, cladding, gutters and formed architectural products |
Key Characteristics of 3105 Aluminum Coil
- Good corrosion resistance: suitable for general atmospheric and architectural environments.
- Good formability: suitable for bending, roll forming and fabricated sheet-metal components.
- Coating suitability: commonly used for painted and coated building products when surface preparation and coating specifications are properly defined.
- Non-heat-treatable: mechanical properties are developed primarily through strain hardening.
- Economical material selection: suitable for large-volume architectural and general fabrication applications.
- Multiple temper options: H14 and H24 allow different balances between strength and forming performance.
Chemical Composition of 3105 Aluminum
3105 is a non-heat-treatable aluminum-manganese alloy with small additions of magnesium and other elements. Its composition provides a practical combination of corrosion resistance, formability and strength for architectural, coated and general fabrication applications.
| Element | Mn | Mg | Fe | Si | Cu | Zn | Ti | Al |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3105 | 0.30-0.80% | 0.20-0.80% | ≤0.70% | ≤0.60% | ≤0.30% | ≤0.40% | ≤0.10% | Balance |
Actual chemical composition should be confirmed according to the applicable material specification and material test certificate.
Mechanical Properties of 3105-H14 H24 Aluminum Coil
Mechanical properties of 3105 aluminum coil depend on temper, product thickness and the applicable specification. H14 and H24 may provide similar nominal strength levels while differing in processing history and forming behavior. Final mechanical requirements should therefore be confirmed against the ordered temper and gauge.
| Property | 3105-H14 / H24 Supply Consideration |
|---|---|
| Tensile Strength | According to ordered temper, thickness and applicable ASTM B209/B209M requirements |
| Yield Strength | Depends on temper, gauge and manufacturing condition |
| Elongation | Depends on product thickness, temper and test specimen requirements |
| Density | Approx. 2.72 g/cm³ |
| H14 Temper | Strain hardened to approximately half-hard condition |
| H24 Temper | Strain hardened and partially annealed to the required strength level |
3003 vs 3105 vs 5052 Aluminum Coil
3003, 3105 and 5052 aluminum coils serve different fabrication requirements. Material selection should consider strength, forming performance, corrosion environment, coating requirements and project cost.
| Alloy | Main Characteristic | Relative Strength | Relative Cost | Typical Selection |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3003 | Good formability and general corrosion resistance | Lower | Lower | General sheet metal, formed components and economical fabrication |
| 3105 | Good forming and coating characteristics for architectural products | Medium | Medium | Roofing, siding, gutters, signage and coated building products |
| 5052 | Higher strength with good corrosion resistance and weldability | Higher | Higher | Transportation, marine components and more demanding fabricated products |
