Aluminum Scrap – How It Fuels Modern Electronics

Aluminum is a widely recyclable metal used the world over for various applications spanning innumerable industries and manufacturing processes. What makes aluminum so special is its softness, its resistance to corrosion, durability, being light weight, and also highly ductile and malleable. Apart from these aluminum is also a good thermal and electrical conductor.

With so many characteristics, and advantages it is no wonder that aluminum found its way into the field of modern electronics. Today aluminum is widely used in the production of personal computers and other electronic systems gadgets and instrumentation. The most common pieces of equipment that one could come across unknowingly lie in the desktop PC. It lies in the microprocessors and computer chipsets that are used for basic home computing and even mobile computing all over the world. Being malleable and a great conductor of heat and electricity, aluminum is commonly used in the production of microprocessors to conduct electricity within them.  Apart from being the heart and mind of the computer and most gadgets and electronic devices, manufacturers these days have found even more applications for them in the electronics industry. Aluminum is used in a large number of computers and laptops these days to form the roll cages and the panels which either hold two parts of the system together or as now-a-days with modern engineering techniques form the body of entire laptop or system altogether. As in the case of the latter, smart engineers and product designers have found ways to incorporate aluminum in their products in multiple ways. The perfected designs and body components of gadgets and laptops these days are attached to the heart or the processor of the device making the body act as the heat sink reducing the heat levels in the electronic gadget. Even in the case of plasma and LCD televisions, which although keep getting larger over time, have become increasingly heavy in weight which makes them difficult to mount on a wall. Engineers are hard at work to develop new techniques in which the structure that holds the various parts whole television together becomes the mount of the television itself making the whole unit a whole lot lighter with better cooling.

What makes aluminum the perfect candidate for electronics, is the amount of electronic waste that regular plastic electronic appliances and goods leave behind when their product life-cycle is complete. Most computer parts and products often end up in landfills which lead to pollution of the soil and underlying groundwater sources. As aluminum can be completely recycled and it is an environmentally friendly metal, metal recycling companies in Dubai like the Lucky Group make it easier for manufacturers to involve aluminum in their designs by making aluminum cheaper compared to primary aluminum sources. Most of the scrap aluminum in Dubai is taken care of by the Lucky Group who take pride in processing and providing the same recycled aluminum thus protecting the environment in the bargain.

The Lucky Group has been on the forefront of the scrap aluminum recycling scene in Dubai supplying their clients in the Middle East and China with the best quality metals including aluminum at the most competitive prices. Their operations include Lucky Recycling which has scrap metal recycling facilities in Dubai, Jebel Ali, Doha and Tehran and Lucky Alloys which deals in the companies secondary and semi-primary aluminum alloy manufacturing interests.
