Alufont® – the ultimate strength for lightweight design
This alloy's outstanding mechanical properties make it a serious alternative to steel. It is easy to weld and excellent to machine, and it can be used wherever parts are subject to high force and load levels. Its low weight also makes it ideal for elements that have to be moved: in motorsport, in machines or for example as a hinged element for telescopic lifting platforms.

As with crystals, these alloys have the structure of their joints to thank for their strength.
