Chemical equipment is fabricated in aluminium and aluminium alloys in view of their following characteristics :-
(i) Good resistance to corrosion. The welded joints normally have approximately the same resistance to chemical action as the parent material.
(ii) Aluminium is generally non-contaminating.
(iii) Aluminium-Magnesium alloys are ductile even at sub-zero temperatures. They are therefore used for low-temperature applications, like the storage and transport of liquefied gases.
(iv) Light weight.
(v) Non-sparking properties.
(vi) Low resistance to heat flow.
