Solid aluminum, often simply called aluminum, is a light, strong and flexible metal characterized by good corrosion resistance and excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. Very abundant in the earth’s crust, it is used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications, including transportation (airplanes, cars, bicycles, trains), packaging (cans, foil), construction (windows, doors, structures), kitchen utensils, and many other areas.
Lightness, therefore, but also corrosion resistance and sustainability are other characteristics that make this material an excellent choice. It is also very easy to machine at high speed, without sparks and with long tool life.
