Light, strong, durable: Why aluminum convinces

In the production of our products, we rely on working with aluminum. But why is aluminum a suitable material for the production of screws, pins and other parts?

• Aluminum is lighter than steel. This property can be a decisive advantage, particularly in the construction of complex machines with weight limits. In addition to the weight advantage, the reduced screw-in depth compared to steel screws is also a plus point.

• Thanks to a natural oxide layer, aluminum has excellent corrosion resistance. In particular, contact corrosion with other light metals can be easily avoided.

• Even at low temperatures, aluminum is easy to form and is therefore perfect for cold forming.

• Aluminum is sustainable and can be completely recycled.

Due to similar expansion coefficients to other light metals, preload losses are also reduced during temperature changes.
