A popular material in
building and civil engineering
Aluminium is a popular material in building construction and civil engineering. The reasons for this are obvious. Aluminium has excellent forming properties and high load capacities. In building construction and civil engineering, weight savings, stability and corrosion resistance are important properties that are required of materials.
Typical applications for aluminum
Typical areas of application for aluminium are windows, doors, facades, roofs and walls. The high material strength prevents thin frames from warping. The extremely long service life of aluminium also speaks in favour of the use of aluminium. Because functionality is maintained for a long time, components do not have to be replaced during the service life. The need for maintenance is therefore low.
What are the special properties of aluminium in building and civil engineering?
- Aluminium reduces the dead weight of the building structures.
- What are the special properties of aluminium in building and civil engineering?. Aluminium reduces the dead weight of the building structures. Aluminium is corrosion-resistant, making it the ideal material for exterior facades. Weight savings: The weight/strength ratio of aluminum is significantly higher than that of steel. Ideal for lightweight construction.

Thoni Alutec accompanies you in your project from the very beginning
ExamplesFor casting development and prototypes, we use our 3D sand printing process. Typical quantities are between 1 and 20 components.
- For pre-series, we work with sand casting with our air setting resin molding process's for quantities of 20 – 2000 components.
- For series production, we prefer these three casting processes
