Aluminum

Aluminum (Al) is a lightweight, versatile metal known for its excellent corrosion resistance, high ductility, and exceptional conductivity. With a melting point of 660.3 °C and a silvery-white appearance, aluminum is the most abundant metallic element in the Earth’s crust. Despite its low density, it exhibits high strength when alloyed, making it indispensable in applications requiring weight reduction. It naturally forms a protective oxide layer, enhancing its durability in harsh environments. Aluminum is non-magnetic, non-sparking, and highly reflective, with outstanding thermal and electrical conductivity. Its ease of fabrication through casting, extrusion, and rolling contributes to its widespread use in aerospace, automotive, construction, packaging, electronics, and beyond. From commercially pure grades to advanced aerospace alloys, aluminum plays a pivotal role in modern engineering and scientific innovation.
