Why Aluminum?
Aluminum products and parts offer a number of advantages over those made of other metals. Aluminum is:
- Strong: Aluminum’s superior strength makes it a good choice for any demanding application. Aluminum structural beams can be as strong as steel components, making them suitable for construction use and other applications where reliability is essential. Custom aluminum extrusion alloys available through Pennex allow for higher mechanical properties and lighter components.
- Lightweight: Aluminum offers one of the best strength-to-weight ratios of any metal alloy. As a result, it is frequently used in automotive applications, where overall vehicle weights must be kept to a minimum, but frame rigidity can’t be compromised. Aluminum is becoming the metal of choice in the automotive industry for crash management, NVH, and structural components.
- Corrosion resistant: Aluminum will also withstand long-term exposure to the elements. It’s for this reason that it is often used in fencing, ducting, connectors, fasteners, and other outdoor components where corrosion resistance is essential.
- Sustainable: Aluminum is infinitely recyclable. It can be recycled again and again with no loss in quality. All Pennex, fabricated aluminum products contain at least 80% recycled materials. The remelting process is also highly energy-efficient and uses 95% less energy to cast billet than to primary aluminum ingot.
In short, there are several reasons why aluminum is prized in such a diversity of applications. Our products are available in a range of grades to meet the needs of some of today’s most demanding clients in almost any industry.
