FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
How does raw sheet metal differ from painted sheet metal?
The main difference is the absence of any coating or film. Raw aluminum has its natural metallic appearance and is ideal in cases where you plan to weld the sheet additionally or want it to stand out in its raw, industrial form. Furthermore, this surface has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, which often comes in handy in technical fields.
Does raw aluminum really not corrode outdoors?
Aluminum has an amazing property – upon exposure to air, it immediately forms a thin oxide layer that naturally protects it against deep-layer corrosion. While raw sheet metal may slightly dull over time and lose its original mirror-like sheen, it will never rust like steel. If you want to preserve the appearance, you can have it anodized.
How is natural aluminum worked with in a standard workshop?
Working with it is a joy because it is significantly softer than steel. You can easily cut it with a circular saw using a suitable blade for light metals, drill holes into it with a standard drill bit, and with a bit of skill, bend it even at home over the edge of a table. It is a very pliable material for professionals and DIYers alike.
Are raw sheets suitable for food processing operations?
Yes, aluminum is health-safe and commonly used in kitchens, food warehouses, or in the production of transport boxes. Its surface is smooth, non-absorbent, and very easy to clean, which are precisely the properties you require in a hygienically demanding environment.
