Aluminum
Aluminum is best known for its lightweight characteristics. When it is cold-worked, the material strengthens by double. It does not oxidize quickly in air due to its microscopic oxide coating on the surface.
Aluminum has hundreds of alloys and tempers, making it useful for a very wide variety of applications including:
- Aircraft
- Aerospace
- Automotive
- Shipbuilding
Newer applications, such as drive shafts, radiators, cylinder heads, and suspension systems have proven to be most advantageous when dealing with weight vs. strength vs. cost considerations.
Aluminum has also proven to be of great value as a forged product, providing high-strength and lightweight for applications in the Aircraft,
Aerospace Metal Supply and Automotive Industries.
