A clear explanation of the excellent properties of aluminum!

Our company, which specializes in the production of aluminum processed products used in industrial machinery, automobiles, and machine parts, provides a clear explanation of the excellent properties of aluminum.

**Properties of Aluminum** ■ Lightweight The specific gravity of lightweight aluminum is 2.7, making it very light compared to iron (7.8) and copper (8.9), approximately one-third the weight of those metals. Therefore, it enhances performance and efficiency in transportation fields such as automobiles, railway vehicles, ships, airplanes, and rockets, as well as in high-speed rotating components like wheels and pistons. ■ Corrosion-resistant Aluminum is a metal that easily oxidizes, forming an oxide film quickly. This oxide film acts as a protective layer, making it highly resistant to corrosion. By applying surface treatments such as anodizing, its corrosion resistance can be further enhanced. ■ Easy to process Aluminum can be easily processed through various plastic deformation methods such as rolling, extrusion, forging, and molding. It can create various complex shapes, like the thin aluminum foil commonly found in households or extruded profiles. ■ High thermal conductivity The thermal conductivity of aluminum is about two-thirds that of copper and approximately three times that of iron. This characteristic is utilized in many applications, such as heating and cooling systems, heat sinks, and beverage cans, to enhance heat dissipation and absorption effects.
