Why is aluminium used for fabrication?
Choosing the wrong material can complicate fabrication, drive up costs, and limit your designs. Imagine struggling with heavy parts, difficult machining, or rust problems down the line. Aluminum offers unique advantages that make it a top choice for many fabrication projects. Aluminum is widely used in fabrication because it’s lightweight yet strong (especially alloys), naturally […]
Is aluminum easily bendable?
Thinking aluminum is always easy to shape? This assumption can lead to frustrating cracks, wasted material, and parts that don’t meet spec, especially if you need precise bends. Let’s clarify when aluminum cooperates. It really depends. Some aluminum alloys1, especially softer ones in an annealed temper, bend very easily. However, stronger, heat-treated alloys are much […]
Which is heavier: aluminium or iron? Which is larger in size?
Confused about how aluminum and iron compare in weight and size? This uncertainty can lead to choosing the wrong material, impacting project costs and performance. Let’s clarify the key differences. For the same physical size (volume), iron is much heavier than aluminum because it is denser. Consequently, for the same weight, a piece of aluminum […]
