Yes, given that the aluminum alloy has the right mechanical properties. The aluminum component’s mechanical properties (such as the tensile strength) must be suitable for the respective application. Compared to steel, aluminum offers the following advantages: Aluminum is about two thirds lighter than steel Use of aluminum components in vehicles Fuel savings and thus less pollutant emissions Realisation of higher payloads Increased driving ranges of electric vehicles Aluminum is a good thermal conductor (Al: 170-220 W/mK, steel: 47-58 W/mK) Aluminum can be processed and shaped in countless ways
