Aluminum (AI): It is a silvery ductile metal. Its atomic number is 13. It is generally found in nature as bauxite ore and is known for its superior resistance to oxidation. The basis of this resistance lies in its passivation property. It is used in the production of millions of different products in many branches of industry and has a very important place in the world economy. Structural components made of aluminum are indispensable for the aerospace industry. It is used in the transportation and construction industry, which requires lightness and high strength properties.

Properties : Aluminum is a soft and light metal and is matt silver in color. This color comes from the thin oxide layer formed on it when exposed to air. Aluminum is non-toxic and non-magnetic. It doesn't spark. While pure aluminum has a tensile strength of about 49 megapascals (MPa), this increases to 700 MPa when alloyed. Its density is about one third that of steel or copper. It can be easily forged, machined and cast. It has very superior corrosion properties because the oxide layer formed on it is protective.

Physical Properties:
Melting Temperature: 650 - 660 C
Thermal Conductivity: Between 20 - 100 C 24X1x/ C
Melting Point: 650 - 660 C
Specific Gravity: 2.7 gr/cm³

Usage areas :
Since aluminum is a metal that cools easily and absorbs heat, it finds a wide place in the refrigeration industry. Aluminum is generally used in the manufacture of coolers, spotlights, kitchen utensils, and lightness-based vehicles (planes, bicycles, etc.). In addition, aluminum, which is an important material in the industry, is a metal that we always encounter in daily life.
