Lightweight Aluminum
Aluminum weight is only about one third that of steel. This is particularly valuable in vehicle construction, which reduces dead weight and its resulting energy consumption.
Corrosion Resistance
As it naturally generates its own protective coating, aluminum is particularly well-suited to applications where durability and conservation are key.
Ductility
Because it is so ductile in its molten state, aluminum is easily processed into any number of shapes. This adds tremendously to its versatility as a construction material.
Conductivity
Almost twice as conductive as copper, aluminum makes an ideal material in applications such as power lines.
