Aluminium Extrusion for Aircraft and Military

When discussing aluminum and its influence on military affairs, we all think that compared with many other metals, aluminum has better corrosion resistance, which means it can better withstand extreme environments. It’s not hard to see how important this is in military operations, and marching to fight for modernization in the 21st century, airplanes will definitely play a very important strategic role in wars.

Why do all countries give priority to using aluminum alloy to manufacture military equipment?
Manufacturing aluminum alloy military equipment can reduce weight without sacrificing hardness and durability. The most obvious advantage is that it can improve fuel efficiency and greatly save fuel cost in transportation.
In addition, the durability of aluminum means that it is suitable for combat applications. The army has high requirements in terms of strength and security. Because of the existence of aluminum, lighter guns mean better use of soldiers, stronger bullet-proof vests can better protect soldiers on the battlefield, and strong mechanical military equipment can withstand the fierce battlefield environment.
With the continuous advancement of science and technology in recent decades, the scientific and technological content of military equipment is also increasing. Traditional metals can’t adapt, while aluminum’s thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity are very suitable for electronic devices and mobile computing, so durability and reliability are essential.

Why is aircraft of more strategic significance in military affairs, and aluminum is the best partner in manufacturing aircraft?
Aircraft is not the first military use of aluminum, but it does play an irreplaceable role in war. The plane can fight and transport, and it has a higher vision advantage in combat, which is stronger than the ground. In terms of transportation, most of the planes that can be done by land transportation can be done, and the speed is faster, and they will not be damaged by bumps.
Aluminum was first used in airplanes because of its light weight. In the early years of World War II, aluminum alloy accounted for at least 50% of the materials made by an airplane. Aluminum can be matched with different metals with different characteristics, and different shapes can be constructed to meet the needs of all parts of the aircraft. From small parts to large wings, there is no substitute.
