Aluminum 3003 Round Tube Prices
Current 3003 Aluminum Round Tube prices by dimension, with $/lb for cross-size comparison.
About 3003|Essentially pure aluminum with a bit of manganese. Designed for forming and drawing, not machining. In the shop, this stuff is soft, gummy, and smears on your tools. Machinists describe it as slightly better than 1100 but still miserable. It’s the standard for deep drawing operations, beverage cans, and heat exchangers. If a customer specs 3003 for a machined part, it’s usually because they need it for a subsequent brazing process. Hardened condition (H14, H18) machines a bit better than annealed, but don’t expect clean cuts. Sharp tools, flood coolant, light cuts, and patience.
About Round Tube|Hollow cylindrical stock for sleeves, bushings, spacers, and hydraulic cylinders. DOM (drawn over mandrel) tubing machines well and holds tight tolerances. Welded-seam structural tube is for cutting and welding, not precision work.
