Aluminum Machining, Aluminum Machined Parts

Characteristics & Function:

·         Aluminum is light; its density is only one-third that of steel.

·         Aluminum is resistant to weather, common atmospheric gases, and a wide range of liquids.

·         Aluminum can be used in contact with a wide range of foodstuffs.

·         Aluminum has a high reflectivity and, as a result, is employed in a number of decorative applications.

·         Aluminum alloys can equal or even exceed the strength of normal construction steel.

·         Aluminum has high elasticity, which is an advantage in structures under shock loads.

·         Aluminum keeps its toughness down to very low temperatures, without becoming brittle like carbon steels.

·         Aluminum is easily worked and formed; it can be rolled to very thin gauges.

·         Aluminum conducts electricity and heat nearly as well as copper.
