Advantages and Applications of Aluminum Alloy

Aluminum alloys are widely used in many fields due to their lightweight, high specific strength and stiffness, corrosion resistance, easy formability, and good electrical and thermal conductivity. From transportation and new energy to civil buildings, electronics and power engineering, as well as packaging, printing, and home appliances, aluminum alloy has demonstrated its unique advantages. Worldwide, researchers have successfully developed numerous high-performance aluminum alloys, such as automotive body panel alloys 6009 and 6111, as well as alloys 7021 and 7029 used for automotive bumpers. In addition, aluminum alloys play a key role in various fields such as mechanical cutting and rail car manufacturing.
