Products and commodities such as foil, eyeglasses, gutters, soda cans, pots and pans, bicycles, plumbing fixtures, patio furniture, window frames, door frames, car wheels, ladders, golf clubs, and even airplanes commonly retain aluminum and aluminum alloy components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is found on the periodic table with the symbol \u201cAl\u201d and atomic number 13. It has a silvery white finish, and mostly admired for its magnetic and ductile (good heat conductivity) properties. This makes aluminum a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gardencityironandmetal.com\/blog\/what-does-ferrous-mean\/\">ferrous<\/a> metal, meaning it contains iron. All of these attributes make it a well-suited match for kitchen back splashes, food preparation surfaces, factory processing equipment, metal roofing, paneling, siding, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Top 9 Grades of Aluminum Alloys on the Market:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u25ba Alloy 1100<br>\u25ba Alloy 2012<br>\u25ba Alloy 2014<br>\u25ba Alloy 2024<br>\u25ba Alloy 3003<br>\u25ba Alloy 5052<br>\u25ba Alloy 6061<br>\u25ba Alloy 6063<br>\u25ba Alloy 7075<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why You Should Always Recycle Your Aluminum Scrap<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that the process of mining and producing aluminum takes more energy than any other metal? It\u2019s true! The amount of energy used to produce just 4 cans of aluminum for soda is hypothetically equivalent to filling up a single soda can with pure gasoline. Similarly, recycling just 1 aluminum soda can saves enough electricity to run a laptop computer for 4 hours, or power your television for 1 hour! So you can see the importance of preserving this limited and vital natural resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background has-medium-font-size\" style=\"background-color:#dee7ea\">Fortunately, all you have to do to responsibly recycle aluminum metal is contact a local and reputable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gardencityironandmetal.com\/\">Indianapolis Indiana metal recycling<\/a> service to recycle your junk metal for cash on the spot!
