The uses of aluminium in the industry are:
1. Power lines: Aluminium has only half the conductivity of copper, but because it is only 30% the weight, a bare aluminium wire with the same electrical resistance will only weigh half as much. Aluminium is considerably less expensive than copper, making it more appealing from a financial and economic standpoint.
2. High-rise buildings: Aluminium is a valuable material that is at the heart of high-rise buildings and skyscrapers. This is due to its great malleability, high strength-to-weight ratio, and adaptability. It is also highly suitable for front-end and back-end energy reductions because of its durability, design flexibility, and contribution to energy savings.
3. Window frames: Aluminium window frames are a highly durable and cost-effective solution for homes and offices. They are also lightweight and impact-resistant, which is beneficial in areas where high winds and powerful storms occur. These are cheap and require less maintenance than wood. They are also more resistant to scratching and cracking. However, one of the biggest drawbacks of adopting aluminium frames is that they are not as energy-efficient as wood and do not provide the same amount of insulation.
