One of the most remarkable features of aluminum extrusions is their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Aluminum alloys used in extrusion manufacturing offer high strength while maintaining a significantly lower weight compared to other materials such as steel. This property makes aluminum extrusions ideal for applications that require structural integrity without adding excessive weight. From aerospace components to automotive frames, the impressive strength-to-weight ratio of aluminum extrusions contributes to enhanced performance, fuel efficiency, and overall efficiency of the end products.

The aluminum material has many applications in various fields, such as transportation and power supply equipment. If we compare the industrial usage of aluminum to that of steel, we will find that aluminum is more attractive in cost, recyclability, and durability.
