Aluminium, brass, and stainless steel have one major thing in common – they don’t rust. Due to the chemical make up of these metals, their molecules don’t strongly react with water or oxygen– it’s the reaction of the metal with these two molecules that causes rust to form on a lot of metals.
Stainless steel is hugely versatile, thanks largely to its strength and anti-corrosive properties. An iron alloy, metals like nickel, titanium, and manganese are added to enhance its natural properties in line with the project it's required for.
So you’re starting a new metal project and you need help choosing the right metal for your job – and back pocket. Usually, choosing a readily available metal with a good range of properties is the best place to start.
Sheet is the most widely used form of aluminium and its versatility makes it ideal for a range of applications.
