Aluminum castings are widely used throughout the marine industry. Aluminum's high weight-to-strength ratio and non-corrosive properties make aluminum castings ideal for marine applications.
Why are aluminum alloys used in marine applications?Aluminum is a very reactive metal, which means it has the property of oxidizing very quickly. While a weak point for most metals, this quality is actually the key to its ability to resist corrosion. When oxygen is present (in air, soil or water), aluminum reacts immediately to form alumina.
