What metal is used to make cars?
The most common material is steel. It is reasonably cheap and easy to press into shape for body parts.
The next best is aluminium. It is lighter, but harder to bend into tight shapes without cracking. It is also harder to weld in mass production.
Some specialist cars are made of stainless steel, which does not rust. (The DeLorean).
Other metals are used within the car, such as copper for the wiring and alloys for castings for engine parts and mounting brackets.
