• Aluminium and Aluminium Alloy Processing

Aluminium and aluminium alloys are used increasingly in industry today because of their good density - strength ratio, their positive corrosion properties and because they can be readily cast, welded, soldered and shaped.

The processing of aluminium and aluminium alloys to high quality requirements demands special knowledge of the material properties of these metals and of the suitable welding and soldering additives. The Steel for you experts have extensive experience in the use, processing, welding, soldering and testing of aluminium and aluminium alloys.
