yes, aliminum dissapates heat quite rapidly, which is why aliminum is often used for heat sinks.
Aluminum heats up faster because it has less mass.
Brass hinges last longer than steel hinges.
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.
Steel has been used as a tank material since the begining of scuba diving. Extremely durable and useful as a tank material but steel rusts. Buy a steel tank, assume that over the life of the tank it will cost you for a few tank tumbles to remove interior rust. Pay more for a steel tank than an aluminum one. Steel will last (almost) forever if you take care of it. There are steel tanks still in service today that were originally manufactured in the 50s. Aluminium tanks came out in the 70s. It's a softer material, the walls of aluminum tanks are thicker, making them a little larger than steel tanks of the same capacity. The big advantage of aluminum is that it doesn't rust and it's less-expensive than steel. You can find aluminum tanks cheap, for $100-150.
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.
Both aluminum and steel are good materials for medical oxygen cylinders. Each material has unique advantages and disadvantages. The characteristics of aluminum cylinders are: 1. lighter weight than mild steel (although high strength steel is of equivalent weight). 2. does not rust 3. does not require re-painting 4. is less impact resistant than steel 5. has a shorter service life 6. lower resistance to heat, eg. looses it's temper (strength) at a lower temperature than steel Steel cylinders are: a. generally heavier than aluminum b. more resistant to impact c. higher resistance to heat before loosing strength d. requires repainting to inhibit rust e. has a longer service life
Stainless steel would last you much longer than aluminum. Aluminum is not as dense as steel, and may not last as long.
Brass hinges last longer than steel hinges.
Metal material is stronger than aluminum and it will last longer. It will also save you money in the long run.
Aluminum roofing may be cheaper and much more affordable than steel roofing however, steel roofing has proven to be much more reliable. It can resist different weather conditions and lasts much longer than aluminum.
Aluminum patio sets last much longer than plastic. They may be a little more expensive but they look better and are also easy to restore and refinish.
You can use galvanized steel or aluminum to make chimney flashing. Although copper is a more expensive choice than the others, it would last longer and be of higher quality.
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.
Heavier than vinyl, aluminum blinds do not flap in the breeze, keep out light more effectively, and their colors and finishes will last longer than plastic.
The reason they don't make aluminum hammers is because most nails are made of steel and steel nails will destroy the aluminum because steel is a lot harder than aluminum.
galvanised steel is a lot more safer....... if u go by the book.... it is upto 10 times stronger than stainless steel in aluminum
The aluminum door is lighter and less expensive than steel door.
aluminum conducts heat better than stainless steel.
