Advantages of Aluminum
- 1/3 lighter weight than steel
Salt and road corrosion catastrophically destroying steel trailer frame
- reduces energy consumption
- Non-corrosive: it does not rust
- Not sensitive to weather exposure and is UV-resistant
- 100% recyclable with infinite reuses
- Strong: custom extrusion profiles can be made to suit any applicationMany aluminum alloys have strengths similar to steel
- Aluminum becomes stronger in cold temperatures
- Very high strength-to-weight ratio
- Aluminum behaves elastically under static and dynamic loading conditions
- This means aluminum can resume shape and size under many stresses
- Naturally attractive surface with little to no finishing required
Rusted steel
