DURABILITY: Aluminium does
not corrode.
WEIGHT: With a density of
2.70g/cubic cm (compared with iron used in
steel 7.86g/cubic cm), aluminium products are very light, cutting down
on transport costs.
HIGH THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY:
Aluminium transfers heat 2.4 times faster
than iron. This, combined with the fact that very thin sheets can be
produced, means that heat is lost and gained through aluminium very
quickly. Hence it is ideal for cooking and as a cold drink container.
