\"Aluminum<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Aluminum is a lightweight chemical element with the symbol of Al and the atomic number of 13. Aluminum was discovered in 1825 by Hans Christian \u00d8rsted. Aluminium is extracted from the bauxite rock using the Bayer and Hall\u2013H\u00e9roult processes. Aluminium is the second most used metal in the world. The aluminium consumption is 88 million tonnes per year. China is the biggest aluminium producer in the world, and Alcoa Corporation is the largest US aluminium producer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aluminum has both chemical and physical properties. The most important chemical properties is corrosion resistance and the physical properties are density, tensile strength, weight and strength-to-weight ratio. Due to the lightweight and higher strength, aluminium is mostly used in the aerospace, medical, and construction industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aluminium is different types such as aluminium 1100, 2024, 3003, 5052, 6061, and 7075. Each type has a primary alloy element. Each type has a different strength, density and physical and chemical properties. Pure aluminium has a tensile strength of 276 MPa. Different types of aluminium has various strength. Working with aluminium is easy due to its low density and lightweight. Cutting, drilling, bending, forming, welding and finishing are important activities in aluminium working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A small aluminium amount is not toxic for the human. But a large amount of aluminium can affect the brain, lungs, blood and digestive system badly. Using a face mask will protect the chronic effect of the aluminium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
