The difference between aluminum alloy truss and steel truss

1、 Materials

The biggest difference between aluminum alloy trusses and steel trusses lies in their materials. The aluminum alloy truss is made of aluminum alloy material, which has excellent corrosion resistance and lightweight characteristics, and can be used for a long time in complex environments; And steel trusses are made of steel materials, which have higher strength and rigidity, and can be used in more harsh construction sites.

2、 Weight

Another obvious difference is weight. Due to the lower density of aluminum alloy trusses compared to steel trusses, their weight is also much lighter. This makes aluminum alloy trusses easier to install and move, especially in scenarios such as high-altitude operations, which are more convenient than steel trusses.

3、 Strength

Steel trusses have higher strength and rigidity, and can withstand larger loads, while aluminum alloy trusses have lower strength. Although aluminum alloy trusses are lighter than steel trusses, they require more materials to achieve the same load-bearing capacity.

4、 Application scenarios

Due to their different materials, weights, and strengths, these two types of trusses have different advantages and disadvantages in different application scenarios. Steel trusses are suitable for construction under high load conditions, such as large event venues, steel structure buildings, etc; Aluminum alloy trusses are more suitable for lightweight construction, stage, exhibition, lighting and other fields. In addition, in outdoor environments, aluminum alloy trusses have good corrosion resistance and can be used for a long time, while steel trusses are prone to rusting.

In summary, there are significant differences between aluminum alloy trusses and steel trusses. Choosing which type of truss should be balanced based on actual needs and application scenarios in order to achieve the best effect.
