Further details on Aluminium:
Aluminium, chemical symbol Al, is the third most abundant element in the Earth’s crust and the most plentiful metallic element.
Its discovery in the 1820s and subsequent introduction to the industrial world revolutionized various sectors due to its lightness of weight, strength, and corrosion resistance.
The development of aluminium extraction methods, such as the Hall-Héroult process, made this metal more accessible and affordable, paving the way for its extensive use in today’s technology, infrastructure, and consumer products.
Properties of Aluminium
Aluminium is renowned for its favourable properties, including a low density, which makes it lightweight compared to other metals.
Its strength can be increased through alloying with elements like copper, magnesium, and zinc. Aluminium’s resistance to corrosion is another key characteristic, attributed to a protective oxide layer that forms naturally when it is exposed to air. This metal also exhibits excellent conductivity of electricity and heat, making it ideal for lots of varying applications. Additionally, aluminium is non-toxic, non-magnetic, and capable of being recycled without loss of its inherent properties, contributing to its popularity and widespread use.
