Why is the frame on a bike made out of alloy and not pure aluminium?

Aluminium alloys are stronger than pure aluminium, which is comparatively soft. Pure aluminium is also considered chemically reactive (thus the layer of aluminium oxide which coats the metal due to oxidation). Pure aluminium hardly exists due to its strong affinity with oxygen in air. In fact, aluminium foils and beverage cans are also alloys of aluminium, with about 92 to 99% of aluminium. So likewise, bike frames are also made of alhminium alloys because of its characteristics of being strong and lightweight.


Why are airplanes made from aluminium alloys rather than pure alloys?

Alloys basically mean "a mix". A "pure alloy" would mean a pure mix. That doesn't really work. Alloys are generally used instead of pure metals b/c the characteristics of the Alloys are better than those of the pure metals. Aluminium Alloys are generally considerably stronger than pure aluminium while still being pretty much the same weight.
