2. Aluminized steel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminized_steel

   The aluminium diffuses into the steel, creating an intermetallic layer above the steel base layer, but below the outside aluminum coating. The aluminium coating is oxidized to help protect the inner steel from corrosion and further aluminium diffusion. [6] The silicon is added to the aluminium bath to create a thinner layer of aluminium on the ...

3. Specific modulus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_modulus

   To emphasize the point, consider the issue of choosing a material for building an airplane. Aluminum seems obvious because it is "lighter" than steel, but steel is stronger than aluminum, so one could imagine using thinner steel components to save weight without sacrificing (tensile) strength.

4. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

   In general, the yield strength of a material is an adequate indicator of the material's mechanical strength. Considered in tandem with the fact that the yield strength is the parameter that predicts plastic deformation in the material, one can make informed decisions on how to increase the strength of a material depending on its microstructural ...

5. Structural material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_material

   Aluminium is a soft, lightweight, malleable metal. The yield strength of pure aluminium is 7–11 MPa, while aluminium alloys have yield strengths ranging from 200 MPa to 600 MPa. Aluminium has about one-third the density and stiffness of steel. It is ductile, and easily machined, cast, and extruded.

6. Specific strength - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_strength

   These materials and others such as titanium, aluminium, magnesium and high strength steel alloys are widely used in aerospace and other applications where weight savings are worth the higher material cost. Note that strength and stiffness are distinct. Both are important in design of efficient and safe structures.

7. Siding (construction) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siding_(construction)

   However, an advantage of steel siding can be its dent-resistance, which is excellent for regions with severe storms—especially if the area is prone to hail. Embossed metal siding on 1890s building. The first architectural application of aluminium was the mounting of a small grounding cap on the Washington Monument in 1884.
