Aluminium boasts a unique and unmatched set of properties, making it an incredibly versatile, highly practical, and attractive construction material.
Weight
Aluminium is lightweight, with a density that is just one-third of steel.
Strength
Depending on the alloy and manufacturing process, aluminium has a tensile strength ranging from 70 to 700 MPa. Properly designed and alloyed extrusions can be as strong as structural steel.
Elasticity
Aluminium has a Young's modulus of about one-third that of steel (E = 70,000 MPa). This means that an aluminium extrusion needs a moment of inertia three times greaterthan a steel profile to achieve the same level of deflection.
Linear Expansion
Aluminium has a relatively high coefficient of linear expansion compared to other metals, which should be considered in the design phase to account for expansion differences.
Formability
Aluminium is highly formable, a quality that is extensively utilized in the extrusion process.
It can also be cast, drawn, and milled with ease.
Reflectivity
Aluminium is an effective reflector of both light and heat.
Machining
Aluminium is very easy to machine using standard equipment like saws and drills. It is also suitable for forming in both hot and cold conditions.
Joining
Aluminium can be joined by all common methods, including welding, soldering, adhesive bonding, and riveting.
Corrosion Resistance
When exposed to air, aluminium forms a thin oxide layer that provides excellent protection against corrosion, even in harsh environments. This layer can be further enhanced with surface treatments like anodising or powder coating.
Conductivity
Aluminium has excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, rivaling that of copper. Additionally, an aluminium conductor weighs half as much as an equivalent copper conductor.
Non-toxic
Aluminium is non-toxic, making it ideal for food preparation and storage.
