Because aluminum sheets can be easily cast and formed, they are often utilized for a variety of products including kitchen utensils, aircraft parts, metallic foils, cans, and window frames. Aluminum is known as the second most malleable metal as well as the sixth most ductile (when a solid material is able to stretch under tension). Due to its lack of strength, aluminum is often alloyed with other metals to make it stronger. Aluminum’s versatility makes it great for many aerospace, military, shipbuilding, medical, defense, and commercial applications.
Aluminum comes in many shapes: bars, sheets, plates, pipes, tubes, wires, coils, and forgings. Aluminum serves as the most viable substitute for copper in terms of electrical conduction. It conducts electricity at approximately 62% of copper’s efficiency while weighing only one-third as much. Moreover, aluminum exhibits excellent thermal conductivity, making it ideal for applications such as heat exchangers, heat sinks, cooling vanes, plastic injection molds, and process vessels. Its ability to rapidly transfer heat makes it highly advantageous in these scenarios.
