This article is a stub. It needs to be expanded.

Advantages:

  • very hard material, very high heat conductivity
  • made out of the extremely common element aluminum (more common than carbon)
  • thermodynamically stable not just metastable thus very heat resistant

Disadvantage:
Crystal structure of less high symmetry than other interesting base materials.
Maybe look at metastable polymorphs at the eventual cost of somewhat less heat resistance?
