    ALUMINIUM

    Aluminium is one of the most popular metals in the transport sector, accounting for 27% of all aluminium consumption. It allows people to move at fly in the sky, cross oceans, move at breakneck speeds and even leave our planet. What’s more, it’s strong, durable and lightweight, making it great for fuel efficiencies.

    It’s used on a myriad of vehicles, including cars, buses, coaches, lorries, trains, ships, ferries, aircraft and bicycles.

    STAINLESS STEEL

    Due to its relatively high resistance to corrosion, Stainless Steel is ideal for application within the transport sector. This makes it great for use in the formation of bridges, tunnels, railway tracks, petrol stations, train stations, ports and airports.

    COPPER

    Copper has high thermal conductivity, which is why it’s used on vehicle radiators, which cool engines by transferring heat from the coolant to the air. Brake tubing is also often made of Copper because of the metal corrosion resistance in the road environment.
