Aluminium is lighter and will not rust. As it is lighter it is easier to achieve a better power to weight ratio.
Aluminium is more expensive than steel but steel will break a lot easier.
Hope this helps everyone who reads it! :D

∙ 13y agoIf youre asking why is aluminum used in car bodies the answer would be because its lighter than steel but still is rigid and strong enough to be used in the frame. Aluminum is not made specifically for car bodies/frames rather that is just one application for it.

Is there iron in aluminium?
Aluminium is a metal (an element), not an alloy. This means that it's only made up of aluminium atoms. It has no other impurities in it. Aluminium ore is called bauxite. This has aluminium plus other substances in it, but aluminium on its own is a metal with just aluminium atoms in it.
Why would wheels made from pure aluminium be useless?
pure aluminium is very soft and it is ductile (flexible)
What are the advantages or disadvantages of steel vs aluminium cars?
Aluminium has some advantages over steel. Since it has a lower density than iron or steel, a car body made from aluminium will be lighter than the same car body made from steel. This results in improved fuel economy. Also, aluminium does not corrode easily, so a car body made from aluminium will corrode less, and may last longer, than one made from steel. However, aluminium is more expensive than steel. So a car made from aluminium is likely to be more expensive than one made from steel.
