Light, strong, durable: Why aluminum convinces

Aludrive Schraube aus Aluminium

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.
With ESKA Aludrive, you can see for yourself the benefits of screws made from high-strength aluminum alloys.
