Aluminum and aluminum alloys have many outstanding attributes that lead to a wide range of applications, including good corrosion and oxidation resistance, high electrical and thermal conductivities, low density, high reflectivity, high ductility and reasonably high strength, and relatively low cost. Aluminum alloys display a good combination of strength and ductility. Aluminum alloys are among the easiest of all metals to form and machine.
