An aluminized alloy is typically steel coated with an aluminum-silicon alloy (aluminized steel) through a hot-dipping process, creating a strong bond with unique properties like excellent corrosion resistance, high heat reflectivity, and strength at high temperatures. It is exactly how it sounds - steel that’s been coated with a thin layer of aluminum. Manufacturers bond the aluminum to the steel through a process called hot-dipping, which gives the material a shiny, corrosion-resistant surface, resulting in a hybrid that combines the strength of steel with some of the heat conductivity and rust resistance of aluminum. It is not toxic and is commonly used in bakeware like sheet pans, loaf pans, and cake tins...^Ivan.
