Material : Aluminum
Aluminum (Al) is a lightweight, silvery-white, non-magnetic metal, abundant in the Earth's crust, known for its excellent corrosion resistance, high electrical conductivity, strength (especially in alloys), malleability, and ductility, making it highly versatile for aerospace, construction, packaging, and automotive parts, often alloyed for increased strength and easily recycled.
Key Characteristics
Appearance: Silvery-white with a slight bluish tint.
Weight: Very light, about one-third the density of steel.
Strength: Strong, especially when alloyed; offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio.
Corrosion Resistance: Naturally forms a protective oxide layer, resisting rust.
Conductivity: Good thermal and electrical conductor.
Formability: Highly malleable (shaped) and ductile (drawn into wires).
Non-Magnetic: Does not attract magnets.
Abundance: The most abundant metal in the Earth's crust.
Recyclability: Highly recyclable, requiring significantly less energy than primary production. 
Common Uses
Aerospace: Aircraft frames and parts (due to light weight and strength).
Construction: Window frames, roofing, structural components.
Transportation: Automotive parts, vehicle bodies (lightweighting).
Packaging: Foil, cans (malleability, non-toxic).
Electrical: Overhead power lines (conductivity).
Consumer Goods: Cookware, general household items.
