Which aluminum is stronger than steel? - lolitahe69 - 11-25-2021
Because it's stronger and more durable than aluminum, steel also weighs more than its counterpart. Steel is essentially 250% times denser than aluminum, making it obviously heavier. And due to its high density/weight, it's less likely to bend under force or heat.

Aluminum is about one-third the weight of steel, meaning parts can be made thicker and stronger while still reducing weight in vehicles and other applications. Depending on the alloy and processing technique used, pound for pound aluminum can be forged to be just as strong if not stronger than some steel.
