10 Differences Between Aluminum and Stainless Steel

Aluminum and Stainless Steel may look similar, but they're actually very different. In this video, we look at 10 differences between Aluminum and Stainless Steel

This video makes me want to walk along the beach holding my lovely steel lol

Aluminum & Stainless Steel are vital in Design & Welding applications. Nice to see your training-videos on YouTube. The clients I work with are aware of the "Educational Content."

You forgot to mention magnetism. Aluminum is not magnetic whereas most stainless steel is magnetic. In fact, Iron, Nickel, and Cobalt are all magnetic but other metals aren't. And if they aren't magnetic, it is impossible to magnetize them.

Amazing video. Thank you! Especially when you touched on the food part. No one else does

thanks for your sharing， voices sounds so nice

Benefit for the beginner, thanks for your sharing.

Love your vids. Aluminium in its pure form is highly corrosion resistant to the elements, it does this by forming a protective coating of its own oxides on its surface. Its only when you start to add alloying elements into it that it becomes susceptible to corrosion, as you are setting the aluminium up for dissimilar metal, galvanic corrosion if moisture contacts the surface of the aluminium. Im sure there are plenty of welders out there that would disagree with the statement aluminium is difficult to weld. Generally the 2000 and 6000 series of aluminium alloy are weldable.

Great Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Well done mate - NEW SUB 🙏🏻

Not gonna lie, this is great for mechanical engineering interviews...

Hi, which one is better to fold it, also; once either aluminum or stainless steel is painted, does the paint comes off if I fold it? thanks for sharing this helpful video.

When you spoke about degrees did you intend C or F ? Thanks

If aluminium reacts with the food then y use aluminium foil

Is using Aluminium cone moulds safe to fry? Or do they have to be stainless steel?

[jaithesimpleguy]

Hi. I cant google my answer. Aluminum vs stainless steel, which one is good or bad to reduce noise (sound dampening)

[kavinscreations]

Im very happy, getted knowledge, sir put those like videos and mechanical related videos

[moulin]

Thank you for the video! question ...why aluminum trailer is more expensive than than steel trailer if Aluminum if cheaper?

What pipe of aluminum use in printer opc drum

[youngrios]

How is steel better welding than aluminum ..I have a resonator delete on my car ...they used stainless steel pipe....some shops said they could not do steel cutting and welding . But I found one and they did the service for me ..and would a re-weld be an easy job for stainless steel ?

Aluminum is not at all weaker than stainless in general. The most common stainless steels (304, 316) have yield strengths slightly below 6061 and there are many aluminum alloys much stronger than that. Of course, stainless can be heat treated to much higher strengths than aluminum, but the commonly held notion that stainless is strong is misleading.

How about durability when exposed to cycled stresses? like if I attached a rope swing to a tree with an aluminum carabiner vs. a stainless steel one.
