Why was plate aluminium invented?
Plate aluminium has a plethora of uses, and it can be recycled continuously without losing any of its strength or other properties. Recycling sheet and plate aluminium saves more than 90% of the energy that would otherwise be needed to make brand new aluminium. The military-grade version of the plate metal has the best performance of any kind of armour, meeting the US military’s highest standards.

Aluminium of 0.250 inches and thicker is called
plate aluminium, and the colder it is the stronger it is. Some alloys of the metal perform exceptionally well at super-cold temperatures, so are excellent for the cold storage sector and even for cryogenics. Other alloys are strong and light enough to make the skins for the bodies of aircraft.
