Are you from Indonesia? Do you need to buy aluminum and do not know where to see its prices? Well here we have the tool for you!
Aluminum is a very light metal with a specific weight of 2.7 g/cm3, one third the weight of steel. Its resistance can be adapted to the desired application by modifying the composition of its alloy. In addition, it is a metal that is highly resistant to corrosion, an excellent conductor of heat and electricity, ductile and, above all, can be recycled. In fact, 100% of the aluminum can be reused without losing its qualities.
Duralumin is one of the best known alloys, made up of aluminum, copper, manganese and magnesium. Due to its lightness and resistance, it is used in the structure of airplanes, high-speed trains, trams, cars and buses. On the other hand, in bodywork, aluminum sheet is widely used to manufacture chassis, trailers and other elements, lightening the total weight considerably (about 30% in cars). This contributes to lower fuel consumption and therefore emissions.
Currently, Indonesia has 273 million inhabitants. Having so much population, it is essential for the country to supply thousands of tons of aluminum and meet the needs of the population.
