What are the advantages of aluminum tubing?
Choosing the right material for tubing can be tricky, can’t it? You need strength, but also workability. Aluminum tubing often comes up as a top choice for many projects, and for very good reasons. Aluminum tubing offers significant advantages, including a high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance1, good thermal and electrical conductivity, ease of fabrication, […]
What is forged aluminum alloy?
Ever wonder what makes some aluminum parts so incredibly strong and reliable? The term "forged aluminum1" often comes up, but what does it really mean? It’s more than just aluminum; it’s a process that transforms it. Forged aluminum alloy is aluminum that has been shaped under immense pressure, typically using dies and a forging press […]
How much weight can aluminum actually support?
Wondering if aluminum is strong enough for your project? Its lightweight nature can be deceptive. The truth is, aluminum’s load-bearing capacity is impressive but depends on several key factors. Aluminum’s ability to support weight varies greatly depending on the specific alloy, temper (heat treatment), the design and shape of the component, and how the load […]
