Outstanding Characteristics of Aluminum and Aluminum Alloy Properties
The uses of a substance depend largely on its properties. Because aluminum has many excellent properties, aluminum has a wide range of uses.
Aluminum and aluminum alloys are one of the most widely used, most economical and applicable materials. World aluminum production has surpassed copper production since 1956 and has always ranked first in non-ferrous metals.
The current production and consumption of aluminum (calculated in tons) is second only to steel, becoming the second largest metal used by humans; and aluminum resources are very abundant. According to preliminary calculations, aluminum mineral reserves account for more than 8% of the materials that make up the earth's crust. .
