Aluminum alloys provided by transportation aluminum suppliers are used to weatherproof, resist corrosion, and block harmful UV rays – and they deliver long-lasting results to ensure a great return on investment. In transportation applications, durability ensures greater safety.
Alloyed aluminum is approximately 1/3 the weight of steel, but some aluminum alloys possess strength that is close to that of steel. In many cases, the weight of vehicles can be significantly and safely reduced by using aluminum instead of steel. This reduction in weight provides other advantages in the transportation sector, including greater fuel efficiency, increased pay load and a reduction of carbon emissions.
The custom extruded aluminum process can be used to create various types of components in transportation industry applications, including vehicle parts, commercial trucking parts, parts for ships, and innovative components for aircraft. The use of aluminum in vehicles, ships, and aircraft that move goods long distances results in the more efficient transport without compromising safety.
