Aluminum is a popular material in aircraft manufacturing because of its lightweight nature, resistance to corrosion, and high strength-to-weight ratio. However, these same characteristics can pose challenges during the dent repair process:

• Malleability: While being more malleable than steel, aluminum’s softness requires careful handling to avoid stretching or tearing the material.
• Heat Sensitivity: Aluminum conducts heat rapidly, which can cause paint to blister if
  excessive friction is applied during the dent repair process.
• Paint Adhesion: The anodized surface on many aluminum parts offers excellent corrosion resistance but can make it difficult for PDR tools to grip effectively.
