Aluminum is a material that has a wide range of uses, including as a base metal for composites. It has a silvery white appearance and is available in the form of pure aluminum or aluminum alloy
It is very light and requires only a small amount of alloying elements to increase its strength. It is also highly resistant to corrosion. This is due to the fact that there is a tightly connected aluminum oxide bellen film on its surface, which can automatically regenerate itself when the surface is damaged. Aluminum also has some other important properties, including high thermal conductivity and easy formability through casting, hot or cold processing), as well as neutral and non-toxic properties. Common uses of aluminum or aluminum alloys:
High strength/low weight applications in the aircraft, aerospace and automotive industries Polished and brushed surfaces in the construction industry, and anodized colors Non-toxic/odorless packaging and machinery in the food industry.
