This is an incredible advantage to take advantage of when we want to build with aluminium. If we know that our piece has to reach high dissipation temperatures, the aluminium is the best candidate, although it is not the best conductor, his relation quality/price makes him to stay at the top of materials for this case.
On the other hand, the aluminium is a material quite soft to be a metal. This means that when we are mechanazing aluminium all is going to be easier, which will mean lower wear for the blade or for the drill, and at the same time lower mechanizing time. If we compare, we spend only ⅓ of the energy that we would spend when mechanizing a piece of steel instead of aluminium. All this information can be summed up in lower time, lower energy, less money we spend.
