Why Use Aluminium?
Unlike other metal types like copper and iron which may run into the problems of corrosion and rusting, aluminium is commonly chosen over these other materials for its desirable properties. Being lightweight, strong, anti-corrosion and durable, aluminium is therefore usually selected as the metal of choice because of these beneficial characteristics.
