The Battle Between Steel and Aluminum? It’s No Contest
Steel has been the default choice of engineers, project managers and other professionals for years. They simply assume steel is the better choice because it’s strong. But American Conduit aluminum is superior in many, many ways. Here are just a few.
- Cutting costs and increasing profits are always among the top priorities for all companies, regardless of their size. Our aluminum conduit can help you achieve both of those vital goals. Aluminum is a great deal lighter than steel, which will save you money on materials. Since it’s lighter, it’s also easier to carry and install, helping you save money on labor as well. You won’t need to devote nearly as many workers to an aluminum conduit installation as you would a steel conduit installation.
- When you install conduit, you expect it to protect the wiring and cables inside for years. Aluminum does just that – and it does so better than steel. Aluminum has a natural layer of protection, known as aluminum oxide, that keeps it from corroding. Steel, on the other hand, will ultimately fail unless coated with extremely expensive materials.
- Strength is yet another area where aluminum beats steel. You may assume that aluminum is easy to crush – and that, in fact, is the case with regular aluminum. But American Conduit doesn’t manufacture regular aluminum. We treat ours with incredible alloys that make our conduit just as strong – if not stronger – than steel. The colder our conduit gets, the stronger it gets as well.
- Aluminum conduit also protects against electromagnetic interference. You can install it near your sensitive electrical equipment with complete confidence, knowing that you won’t risk damage.
- As important as costs and profits are, safety is always priority No. 1. This is where aluminum really shines. Aluminum is non-toxic, and doesn’t emit sparks. Steel, on the other hand, can emit toxic fumes and can also spark. If you use conduit in any sort of volatile environment, aluminum should always be your material of choice.
