Donlouco - Aluminium

This is an extremely common material used in a huge number of applications in common day use today. From aluminium foil to wrap food to cooking containers to aircraft parts to engine blocks for cars etc. The material is made from one of the most common ores available in the world called bauxite. But while the ore is common the extraction of the aluminium is expensive and requires a lot of energy and can only be purified by a process called electrolysis requiring a vast amounts of electricity. The main properties of aluminium is that it has an excellent strength to weight ratio which makes it ideal for many application but it has also many other key properties like corrosion resistance, machinability, stability and availability.
