ADVANTAGES OF USING ALUMINUM IN LIFE:

Light weight: - Only about 1/3 of the density of steel.

Durability: - Some alloys can be significantly strengthened through machining or heat treatment.

Machinability: - Easy to form, machine and weld.

Corrosion resistance: - Depends on the alloy and the best resistance to marine environments

Non-toxic: - Often used in contact with food

Non-magnetic and non-sparking.

High electrical conductivity.

High thermal conductivity.

Reflection: - Available in glossy finishes.

Technical standards for aluminum plate products | Aluminum coil | Aluminum strip | Solid round aluminum bar supplied by Apmetal Company are usually produced according to EN, JIS, DIN, ASTM B209M standards. Aluminum products are often specified as plates for shipbuilding with very clear alloys and temperatures, strictly complying with ASTM B928M standards.

Basic information about these products is in "Aluminum Standards, Data and Design" published by the world aluminum association such as the American Aluminum Association.
