I stand corrected, 3003 alloy is used for can bodies.
So 3003-H18 (Temper) is used , that's why it's so rigid and strong for it's thin sheet. I Googled 3003-H18 and found this chart:

Thanks for the info. I stand corrected as well! I would guess the drawing and ironing operations would have an effect as well, thus the decreased ductility after forming.
Since I have never used 3003-H0 (to my knowledge), I can't comment on how it compares. However, if properly and fully annealed, it should return to a "dead soft" state. Tim D. |

Another possible source for thin aluminum is aluminum printing plates, as used in newspaper plants, etc. The alloy may be too still to form well, however. A quick search showed that some of it is only 0.15 millimeter = 0.005905512 inch thick.

Did you figure out how to get the coating off?
I have lots of these plates, but never found out how get the coating off.
