Aluminium components for the transport industry
Lightness is undoubtedly the feature of aluminium most valued in this sector, and explains why it has become so popular so quickly. The need to withstand particularly
severe
me-
chanical stresses has led to the development of special purpose alloys. Pandolfo
Alluminio
is
able to manufacture sections of sizeable proportions.
Aluminium components for the engineering industry
As in other instances, prefabrication is the feature of components made from extruded section members that makes aluminium preferable to other materials. Equally important is the development of alloys which, besides affording excellent mechanical properties, offer all the intrinsic advantages of aluminium in terms of machinability and surface quality.
Aluminium components for the electrical industry
Aluminium
is
suitable
for structural components as well as being a good conductor of electricity and heat. These are advantages that have made the metal increasingly popular for electrical applications, not to mention the high level of prefabrication that can be achieved utilizing machined sections.
