Aluminum stands out for its lightweight and economical properties, boasting excellent heat and electricity conduction. While certain alloys allow for heat treatment or cold working to boost strength, aluminum generally doesn't match steel's strength. However, its natural corrosion resistance due to a forming surface layer makes it ideal for use in saltwater environments and chemical exposure.
