ATTRIBUTES OF ALUMINIUM
Aluminium has many attributes, a number of which benefit the cookware market, such as:
LOW MASS – A key ingredient when one considers transport and handling
GOOD STRENGTH – Particularly after forming which helps prevent denting and other defects
DUCTILITY – It is extremely malleable and lends itself well to the stringent drawing and forming processes required of it in the manufacturing of cookware
CORROSION RESISTANCE – 1200 alloy is mostly used in the manufacturing of aluminium pots and pans and is highly resistant to most forms of corrosion. The metals natural coating of Aluminium Oxide provides a highly effective barrier to the ravages of air, temperature and moisture. It does not rust
HIGH THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY – Aluminium's thermal conductivity is four times that of steel and eight times that of cast iron and proves extremely useful where applications involving heating and cooling are concerned. For this reason aluminium is also used in the base of all stainless steel cookware
FINISH – Aluminium looks good in its natural finish
TEMPERATURE – Aluminium can be used up to 260 degrees centigrade and does not fracture or become brittle
TOTALLY RECYCLABLE – Environmentally responsible with no downgrading of its qualities
