Aluminum is a lightweight, corrosion-resistant non-ferrous metal used across industries for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, thermal and electrical conductivity, and malleability. It is the most abundant metal in the Earth’s crust and is widely used in construction, aerospace, transportation, packaging, and consumer products.
🔹 Key Properties of Aluminum
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Density | ~2.70 g/cm³ — about 1/3 the weight of steel |
| Tensile Strength | Varies by alloy (from ~70 MPa to over 600 MPa) |
| Corrosion Resistance | Excellent — forms a passive oxide layer |
| Thermal Conductivity | Very high (~235 W/m·K) — ideal for heat sinks and cookware |
| Electrical Conductivity | ~60% of copper — used in power transmission lines |
| Machinability | Generally good, depending on alloy |
| Weldability | Good in many alloys, especially 5xxx and 6xxx series |
| Non-Magnetic | Yes |
| Recyclability | 100% recyclable with minimal property loss |
