Can aluminum strips be used in harsh environments such as high humidity or salt spray exposure?

Aluminum strips can be used in harsh environments to some extent, but their performance may be compromised. Aluminum is resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for high humidity conditions. However, in environments with significant salt spray exposure, aluminum can corrode over time, particularly due to the formation of galvanic cells when in contact with other metals. Protective coatings or anodizing can enhance its corrosion resistance, but it's not entirely impervious. Thus, while aluminum can be used in such environments, it requires proper protection and maintenance to ensure longevity.
