Duralumin so that it would be light and strong
(95% aluminium, 3.5 to 4.5% copper, 0.7% magnesium, and 0.7% manganese 0.7 % iron + silicon.)

cherry72: Properties...??

roysamir929: Duralumin is very light but enormously strong... it is due to its light weight it can move at higher speeds and also will be easy to handle and also for its strength it won't get easily damaged

roysamir929: so it is used to make aircraft bodies due these properties and also it is corrosion proof

Though aluminum and titanium have come down in price. Cyclists like the lighter weight of aluminum or carbon fiber, manufacturers are creating bikes that are aluminum or carbon fiber which more affordable and chromium plating for nice look.
Properties : Carbon fiber is a material that offers stiffness and strength at low density– which is lighter thanaluminium and steel, that provides many practical benefits. Weight for weight, carbon fiberoffers 2 to 5 times more rigidity (depending on the fiber used) than aluminium and steel.
