Aluminum in the Technology Sector

Aluminum is a lightweight, ductile metal with good electrical and thermal conductivity, combining high strength and excellent formability alongside a broad range of alloys. It is the most widely used metal in developing technologies and daily life. Thanks to its 100% recyclability, aluminum is an environmentally friendly metal. These important properties have made aluminum the fastest-growing and the most used metal in the automotive industry. Similarly, it is widely used in various industries such as aerospace, defense, packaging, construction, architectural, and facade applications. These technological properties have positioned aluminum as a strategically important metal.

Aluminum in the Automotive Industry

Aluminum has become the metal that maximizes usage in the automotive sector due to its lightweight, high mechanical strength, ease of shaping, and recyclability. Reducing carbon emissions and increasing energy efficiency are fundamental pursuits in today's automotive industry, and aluminum is the sole response to this quest.

• Aluminum is three times lighter than steel.
• A car produced with aluminum consumes 20% less fuel and emits 17% less carbon dioxide throughout its lifetime.
• Aluminum has a high capacity to absorb impact energy, resulting in a higher safety coefficient for vehicles made from it.
• Aluminum forms the core structure of electric vehicles and new technology-designed cars.

Aluminum in the Construction Sector

Aluminum is an indispensable material in the construction sector due to its lightweight, ease of shaping, high corrosion resistance, and coloring properties.

• Aluminum is widely used in window, door, and frame applications for its durability, longevity, aesthetics, and sealing properties.
• Its aesthetic features, corrosion resistance, and lightweight make aluminum the unmatched solution for architectural and facade applications.
• Due to its lightweight, aluminum reduces the static load on buildings and foundations, making them more durable.

Aluminum in the Aviation and Transportation Sector

Due to its lightweight, extensive mechanical properties, and resistance to corrosion and atmospheric conditions, aluminum has become the most commonly used metal in aviation and rail transportation.

• Sustainability, carbon emission reductions, and energy efficiency are top priorities in the transportation sector, and aluminum is a unique, indispensable solution.
• Aluminum makes up more than 60% of the weight of new technology aircraft.
• In rail transportation, aluminum provides over 20% energy savings and significantly reduces carbon emissions.

Aluminum in the Packaging Sector

Aluminum's ability to be produced in extremely thin sheets, its corrosion resistance, and compatibility with food give it a wide range of usage in the packaging and food sector.

• Aluminum foil is lightweight, easily shaped, and a good protector due to its thermal conductivity.
• It is an effective and successful food packaging material that effectively and safely protects food products from heat, cold, light, and external factors under normal usage conditions.
• Aluminum is a health-friendly material, compatible with food, containing about 35 mg of aluminum in the human body (25 mg in soft tissues and 25 mg in bones).
• Aluminum and its compounds are widely used in health-related fields, including the pharmaceutical industry, water reservoir protection, and vaccine production.

The World Health Organization has found no evidence from years of research showing that aluminum has any adverse effects on human health under normal usage conditions.
