Markets
Aluminium is used extensively across a range of different sectors and markets. Aluminium is in high demand because it offers a rare combination of valuable properties. It is light, strong, and flexible.
Three times lighter than iron, aluminium is used abundantly in the aerospace industry where its lightness is imperative. It is nearly as durable as steel, and this combined with its corrosion resistance makes it an ideal choice in industries where the end product will be exposed to the strains and stresses of external elements. The marine industry needs materials that can withstand the corrosive nature of the sea and aluminium has many qualities that make it a good fit for this industry.
Aluminium can also be used in alloys with other materials, making it invaluable in everyday life for example in the engine and chassis of the modern motorcar. Aluminium’s ductile nature makes it an ideal choice for manufacturing and packaging, where thin, flexible materials can be formed into various shapes, as in aluminium drinks cans. Aluminium is the second most used metal in the construction industry after steel and is again favoured for its ductileness, allowing many and varied shapes to be formed.
