    GKN PM’s conversion technology from steel to aluminum in sintered metal applications can offer several benefits: ✔️Thermal and Electrical Conductivity: Aluminum has superior thermal and electrical conductivity compared to steel, making it ideal for applications that require efficient heat dissipation or electrical conductivity. ✔️Weight Reduction: Aluminum is significantly lighter than steel, which can greatly reduce the weight of components. This is especially beneficial in industries where weight savings can enhance fuel efficiency and performance. ✔️Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Although steel is generally stronger, aluminum’s high strength-to-weight ratio makes it suitable for many structural applications where minimizing weight is crucial. ✔️Machining: Our MMC materials are designed with micro and nano sized reinforcements to significantly improve tool life. ✔️Corrosion Resistance: Aluminum naturally forms a protective oxide layer, making it more resistant to corrosion than steel. 🔎Visit our website for more information: Lightweight Aluminium Technology | The future is lightweight (https://bit.ly/47UCtby) #GKNPM #GKNPMAL #ALUMINUM
