What is aluminium?

Aluminium is aluminum, a recyclable metal that is lightweight, strong, and conductive. It is inexpensive and will not rust, nor will this natural resource ever run out because to some extent, the earth's crust is made of it.

It can be molded into casts, worked with machine tools, and made into sheet metal, making it useful for a wide variety of products.

Some interesting facts about aluminum

Though it is inexpensive today, it wasn't always. Napoleon's best cutlery was made of it, and his second-best cutlery was gold.

Originally named Aluminum by Sir Humphrey Davy in 1808, it is also known as aluminium.

Density of aluminum is 2.7 and its melting point is 660 degrees Celsius.

Aluminum is a pure element that appears on the Periodic Table.

In contrast to iron, which produces an oxide that is much bigger than iron and produces rust, aluminum oxide is the same size as aluminum. Instead of forming rust, the oxide forms a protective layer.
