Advantages of aluminum

Advantages of aluminum

  • low weight (2.7 g/cm3 - about one-third the density of steel)
  • tensile strength (70 to 600 MPa)
  • good ductility and malleability - excellent for extrusion, bending and forming
  • non-flammability (does not emit toxic fumes at high temperatures)
  • corrosion resistance (very high, especially in neutral or slightly acidic environments)
  • reacts with oxygen in air to form a very thin oxide layer, which is tight and provides excellent protection against further corrosion
  • non-magnetic material
  • non-toxic material
  • easy to combine with other products
  • good electrical and thermal conductivity
