1.Corrosion resistance: Aluminum oxidizes rapidly and the resulting alumina surface coating resists further corrosion by air, water and chemicals. This protective coating is transparent, colorless and pollution-free.

2.Colorable: Aluminum can be easily colored by anodizing and holds the paint well. Aluminum can be done in a variety of ways.

The upper L43 handle is available in a black powder-coated finish, but can also be supplied with a glossy knurled finish or natural anodized finish.

3.Lightweight: Aluminum weighs about one-third as much as steel. This makes shipping inexpensive and can also help build lighter machines when needed.

4.Economy: Although it has been said above that aluminum is not the cheapest material, it is still more economical than brass or stainless steel, so it is often the best choice for non-corrosive applications.

5.High hardness: Aluminum has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of all metals.

6.Conductivity: Aluminum conducts electricity even better than copper.

7.Non-magnetic: For applications where magnetism needs to be avoided, aluminum is a great choice.

8.Recyclable: Aluminum is 100% recyclable and does not lose any of its natural properties.
