Lightweight & economical, aluminum conducts heat & electricity well. Certain alloys can be heat treated or cold worked to increase its strength but will typically not be as strong as steel.

A naturally forming corrosion resistant layer forms on its surface offering good resistance to salt water & chemicals.
