Industries Incorporating
Lightweight Aluminum
Manufacturing/Electronics
Aluminum is commonly used for beverage cans and provides a clean finish that can be painted for labeling purposes, remain light enough for ease of shipping, and retain the strength to stand up to the pressure of canning.
And don’t forget the huge assortment parts and connectors that go into making electronics like computers, phones, etc. to make them function properly without being too heavy for daily use.
Automotive/Construction
The automotive industry is well invested in aluminum production, needing metals with a high malleability and strength while remaining light enough to provide fuel efficient, better performing vehicles for commercial and consumer automotive and transportation industries.
The building and construction industries use a large amount of aluminum, from HVAC systems and electrical parts to structural beams and siding. Aluminum is strong enough to perform these functions without being heavy and costly like other metals.
