Aluminum

If corrosion resistance is at the top of your prtiorties, choosing aluminum is an excellent option for precision parts. The reason that aluminum has excellent corrosion resistance is because of its alumminum oxide layer that occurs on its surface when exposed to air. The material is also easy to work with and because of its malleability and non-toxic traits, aluminum can be used in various applications. Learn about the industries and applications that are suited to aluminum by reading below.

Industries

Another big advantage of choosing aluminum for precision machining is its high strength properties. The strength of the material is unsusual, considering how lightweight aluminum also is. These properties make the material a choice for those in a wide range of sectors. Here is a list of the industries where aluminum is frequently used:

  • Aerospace
  • Automotive
  • Construction
  • Electrical
  • Food
  • Marine

 

Applications

Below is a list of a few of the applications that aluminum is used in:

  • Aircraft Fittings
  • Beverage Lids
  • Cyrogenic Applications
  • Food Containers
  • Shafts
  • Sports Equipment
