Aluminum Characteristics
Due to Aluminum’s many advantageous properties, it is incredibly diverse in application. Its corrosion resistance makes it a good choice for marine use, while its non-toxic and protective characteristics have warranted its service in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Aluminum has the very advantageous and unique feature of having a high strength to weight ratio (aluminum weighs about 1/3 as much as steel), and its low cost and easy machining characteristics have only expanded its use and popularity. We can help you select which material will work best for your application as well as any anodizing required for your production.
