The Properties of Aluminium Metal 

Aluminium metal has extraordinary physical properties – which is why industrial applications are so varied and wide-ranging. The raw material is lightweight and pliable. It’s heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and fireproof. With so many unique properties it’s no wonder that application is so all-encompassing.

When it’s exposed to the elements, Aluminium will oxidize. But unlike rusting iron, Aluminium oxidation actually improves the quality of the metal (preventing further metal decay). Moreover, Aluminium can be combined with other metals to create Aluminium alloys – adding additional quality characteristics.

Alloys are designed to enhance the natural properties of Aluminium. Alloys can increase the strength of Aluminium, improve pliability, and enhance corrosion resistance. There are also other manufacturing options that can boost the conductivity of Aluminium. Here again, fabrication options are endless.
