Which is better aluminum or stainless steel? - aluhm - 12-14-2021
Better for what?
Tensile or yield strength wise, aluminium can't match Stainless Steel at any level.
Hardness wise, some specific treatment can give higher Hardness for aluminium, easily compared to what can be achieved for stainless steel.
Corrosion resistance wise, based on the application, each has its merits.
As a cooking utensil, Aluminium is being less and less preferred since there were some studies and claims of its perceived contribution to Alzheimers' disease.
