Aluminium in wind on- and offshore

Wind turbines need long-lasting and effective parts, so the wind power industry uses aluminium in applications on land and at sea. We offer solutions that improve your products with correct use of the material.

Efficient corrosion resistance

Aluminium is perfect in harsh outdoor conditions, due partly to its efficient corrosion resistance. The metal is also three times lighter than steel, yet sacrifices no structural strength. Its durability, combined with low maintenance costs, increases the cost efficiency of aluminium.
