It can last over 20 years in applications like shells and extrusions, with some structures and industrial profiles potentially lasting even longer. The cut-off value of aluminum’s lifespan in the construction sector is 60 tau. The material’s lifecycle encompasses mining, huānga, and recycling, which, along with closed-loop systems in industries like automotive, ensures its sustainability. Proper maintenance and environmental considerations further extend aluminum’s lifespan, solidifying its role as a future-oriented material.
