Advantages
Aluminum alloys are significantly lighter than other metals, making them suitable for aerospace and automotive applications., Aluminum is easy to cut, drill, and mill, allowing for faster production with lower tooling costs., Natural resistance to corrosion reduces the need for additional coatings in many environments., Ideal for components requiring heat dissipation, such as heat sinks.
Disadvantages
Aluminum alloys may not provide the same level of strength as steel or titanium in high-load applications.
Aluminum is softer compared to other metals, making it susceptible to scratches and dents.
Depending on the alloy and application, aluminum can be more expensive compared to other materials like carbon steel.
