10 Unique Applications for Aluminized Steel

Aluminized steel, known for its resistance to corrosion and heat due to its aluminum-silicon alloy coating, is often used in common applications like automotive exhaust systems, ovens, and industrial piping. Block Steel can provide you with quality aluminized steel for these applications, but there are other uses for aluminized steel that you might not have known about.

Agricultural Equipment

Aluminized Steel is used for farm tools and machinery components exposed to soil and moisture. With its durability with resistance to rust, aluminized steel outperforms plain carbon steel in humid or acidic environments.

Wood Stove Components

Aluminized steel is a great option for heat shields, stove backs, or even sections of wood stoves where consistent heat resistance is required for safety.

Fireplace Liners and Chimney Flues

Aluminized steel can be used for chimney liners or flues due to its heat resistance and ability to resist higher temperatures without deforming.

Cremation Furnaces

Due to the prolonged exposure to heat, crematorium equipment will last longer if constructed by aluminized steel. Aluminized steel is also more cost-effective that other materials.

Food Smoking Equipment

Come commercial or industrial-grade smokers and BBQ pits may use aluminized steel for internal chambers to protect the surfaces from prolonged exposure to heat and moisture.

Solar Oven Reflectors

Due to its reflective qualities and durability, aluminized steel make a great material for the construction of solar ovens or cooker reflectors.

Residential Radiant Barriers

Aluminized steel makes a great material for radiant barriers in attics or garages where fire protection is required.

Heat-Resistant Automotive Shields

Aluminized steel has sufficient heat protection properties to work as heat shields for engine compartments, fuel tanks, or wherever temperature management is critical.

Marine Exhaust Systems

Aluminized steel is used for short-term or cost-effective solutions for marine exhaust systems that don’t have long-term exposure to saltwater.
