Aluminum is a soft, durable, lightweight ductile and malleable metal. It is the most abundant element on earth after oxygen and silicon. Its appearance can range from silvery to grey. It is nonmagnetic, non-sparking and insoluble in alcohol though soluble in water in certain forms. The use of aluminum salts can be dated back to the ancient Greeks and Romans.
Aluminum is mostly used as a non-ferrous metal. In its purest form, is has rather low tensile strength but when combined with thermo-mechanical processing, aluminum alloys show much higher strength properties. As a result of its high strength-to-weight ratio, aluminum is used in applications ranging from aircrafts, rockets, or cars, to CDs, electronics, baseball bats, or even cooking utensils.
