Aluminum is a popular material choice in many industries for several reasons - it's high strength yet lightweight, has excellent malleability, is easy to machine, has good conductivity (both thermal and electrical) and has excellent corrosion resistance. In addition, Aluminum is non-magnetic and is non-toxic. It's also very easy to recycle.
