Some Interesting Facts About Aluminium :
1. Abundance of Raw Material : Aluminium is the third most abundant element in the Earth's crust, making up about 8% of the Earth's solid surface.
2. Recycling Superstar : Aluminium is one of the most recyclable ‘ green ‘ materials on the planet. It can be recycled repeatedly without losing its quality, and recycling aluminium saves up to 95% of the energy required to produce it from raw materials. Approximately 75% of all Aluminium ever refined is still in use !
3. Corrosion Resistance : Unlike many other metals, aluminium has a high resistance to corrosion. When exposed to air, it forms a thin layer of oxide that protects it from further corrosion, making it ideal for outdoor applications and coastal environments.
4. Non-Magnetic : Aluminium is non-magnetic, which means it doesn't stick to magnets. This property makes it valuable in electrical applications where magnetic interference must be minimised.
5. Versatile Applications : Aluminium's versatility is unmatched. It's used in a vast array of products including beverage cans, airplanes, automobiles, building materials, electronics, and even smartphones.
6. Flexible and Ductile : Despite its strength, aluminium is highly malleable and ductile, meaning it can be easily formed into various shapes and sizes without losing its structural integrity.
