This specific aluminum grade is highly machinable, weldable, and cold-worked. Additionally, you can use heat treatment, and it also offers suitable joining characteristics.

This insulating layer can take several forms, e.g. ABS, Noryl or PVC. A fourth possibility is polyamide (also known as PA). This is a high quality plastic that is manufactured from benzene in specialised factories. Polyamide shares a number of advantages with aluminium (wear resistance, 100% recyclable, etc.) but also adds some more.

Most of these features, which used to be unique to iron, are now available in steel, which is by a large margin the superior material. And visually, the only difference between the two is the texture. Steel is smooth, while iron has a visible grain, whether it is produced by casting, or by pulling. This grain is actually caused by impurities in the iron and is what accounts for its unreliable nature. These impurities cause weak points in the iron that can lead to breakage when it’s put under stress. Steel’s smooth appearance results from the fact that these impurities have been burned out, or, in the case of carbon, evenly distributed throughout the material. When you think of the medieval blacksmith hammering away, what he is doing is distributing the carbon evenly to turn iron into steel.
