    Thanks for all the great info!
    You would have to go to each fire extinguisher manufacturers website to research their cylinders composition. The five major manufacturers, in the US are: Amerex, Ansul, Badger, Buckeye and Kidde. The sales literature usually list the cylinder material. A lot of manufacturers use aluminum, as it is lightweight.
