Aluminum advantages

Natural Gifts

Aluminum has been gifted with properties that make it suitable for a vast array of applications, from construction solutions to hi-tech designs

Chemical/Physical Advantages

  • Corrosion resistant
  • Excellent strength-to-weight ratio
  • High thermal electrical conductivity
  • Durable
  • Reflective
  • Non-combustible
  • Does not spark

Product Advantages

  • Attractive
  • Seamless
  • Easily fabricated
  • Joinable by various methods
  • Offers low tooling costs
  • Permits complex, multi-functional shapes
  • Easily Recycled

From a manufacturing perspective, aluminum is attractive as well. It is safe to handle, will not spark and is non-magnetic. Additionally, aluminum is one of the most cost-effective production materials. It can be extruded into a vast array of complex shapes to precise tolerances and will continue in uniform quality even during extended production runs.

Nothing can beat aluminum – easy-to-use, easy-to-customize, with tremendous strength yet light-weight and recyclable. While designers have a number of materials they can consider for applications, they choose aluminum when feasible.
