Aluminum is a low-density metal that is often used because of its innate ability to resist all sorts of corrosion. It is often used in the construction of buildings, transport vehicles, and the aerospace industry, where many structural components have aluminum and its alloys as bases. It is lightweight, soft yet durable, malleable and ductile. Its appearance can range from something silvery to those that carry a duller gray tinge to it. This depends upon the roughness of its surface.

Steel, on the other hand, is an alloy that is primarily made up of carbon and iron. Whilst carbon may be the most common alloying material used for iron, there are also a variety of other elements that can be used. This includes chromium, manganese, tungsten, and vanadium. Basically, carbon is added as a hardening agent that subsequently prevents any dislocations within the iron atom crystal lattice from separating and sliding past each other. Much like aluminum, it is also used for various construction purposes, such as the creation of tools, machines, automobiles, weapons, and ships.
