Applications

Lightweight and corrosion resistant, the physical properties of aluminum are critical for the automotive, aerospace, and defense industries. In construction, energy, and technology sectors, aluminum is often selected for its thermal and electrical conductivity.

Because of its unique characteristics and properties, combined with a wide selection of alloys and tempers, aluminum can help reduce costs and improve product performance in many applications.

Characteristics and Properties

Light Weight: The reduced weight of aluminum is very beneficial in transportation equipment where it improves fuel economy and increases payload.

Corrosion Resistance: When aluminum is exposed to atmosphere, a thin layer of aluminum oxide quickly forms. This protects the metal from further corrosion caused by oxygen, moisture and many other chemicals.

Strength: Commercially pure aluminum has a tensile strength of 13 KSI. Through cold working (i.e., rolling) and/or the addition of alloying elements, the strength of aluminum can reach 100 KSI for use in structural applications.

Electrical Conductivity: Aluminum is the only practical alternative to copper as an electrical conductor. It conducts electricity about 62% as well copper at one-third the weight.

Thermal Conductivity: Heat moves quickly through aluminum, which is ideal for exchangers, heat sinks, cooling vanes, plastic injection molds and process vessels.

Light and Heat Reflectivity: Aluminum has wide use in lighting fixtures and portable heaters.

Other Useful Properties: Aluminum is nonmagnetic and can protect electrical equipment from electromagnetic interference. It’s non-sparking when struck, allowing safe use near flammable or explosive material. Aluminum is nontoxic and highly suitable for the preparation and storage of food.
