Aluminum

Aluminum is a lightweight and highly versatile material that is widely used in various industries. It offers a unique combination of properties including high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, malleability, and good thermal and electrical conductivity. These characteristics make aluminum an ideal choice for applications where weight reduction, durability, and efficient heat transfer are important factors, like engine blocks, heat exchangers, and other transportation components.
