What is the difference between aluminum and steel?
Chemically, aluminium is an element, while steel is an alloy consisting mostly of iron. Although most aluminium items you see and use are also Alloys, strictly speaking. Steel is stronger but heavier. They have quite different material qualities.
What is better steel or aluminum mesh?

What is more durable Aluminum or steel doors?
Steel is a harder and more durable metal than aluminum. Therefore, steel doors are often more durable and more difficult to damage than aluminum doors.
When you touch a magnet to a steel nail the nail attracts steel paper clips. Explaine why this does not happen when you use an aluminum nail?

Is it best to make cars from Aluminum or Steel?
I would suggest that Aluminum is preferable. It is lighter than steel, which can result in a higher performance vehicle (faster acceleration, better braking, improved fuel economy). Furthermore, unlike steel, aluminum will not rust. Aluminum is also easier to recycle. Aluminum cars have a stiffer feel- giving them a sportier feel, and absorb impact about 1.5 times as well as steel, making them safer. The downside, of course, is the high cost of aluminum compared to steel.
How to tell the difference between extruded aluminum and stainless?

What is the difference between steel toe and aluminum toe shoes?

Is there a test to determine something is stainless steel and not aluminum?
Use a magnet. Magnets stick to steel but don't stick to aluminum. Stainless is very weakly magnetic at best. Best to identify aluminum from stainless by weight (aluminum is much lighter) or by hardness (aluminum is much softer; scratches more easily). ***************** Though magnet test can show the difference between magnetic steel and aluminum, it cannot show the difference between non-magnetic steel and aluminum. In this case you can tell the difference by 1. weight , since aluminum has density 2700 kg/m3 and steel (magnetic or not) 7500 2. hardness, using a knife or something similar, since aluminum is softer than steel
What's the difference between aluminum and steel roofing?
Steel and aluminum are rather neck and neck with quality. Both can be coated to prevent corrosion. In the end, price is where they differ with steel being the slightly less expensive option.
