No, aluminum does not rust. Rust refers specifically to iron oxidation. Aluminum naturally forms a thin, protective oxide layer (aluminum oxide) when exposed to oxygen, which prevents further corrosion. This self-healing layer makes aluminum highly resistant to sunlight, humidity, and temperature fluctuations, ideal for outdoor applications.
At Xtra Metal Group, we enhance this innate durability through advanced surface treatments like anodizing or PVDF coatings, tailored to project-specific environmental demands. With 30+ years of global engineering expertise, we ensure our aluminum cladding systems combine scientific precision with aesthetic flexibility, delivering corrosion-resistant, low-maintenance solutions for architects and developers worldwide.
