Aluminum is a ductile, corrosion resistant metal produced from bauxite ore and used across industries for its low density.
Properties of Aluminum | It has good electrical conductivity, forms a protective oxide layer and is highly recyclable with low energy cost for reuse.
Uses of Aluminum | Used in aircraft, automotive parts, foil, cans and building materials and as an alloying element for strength.
Isotopes of Aluminum | Stable Al 27 is dominant; aluminum compounds are generally low toxicity but fine dust can be a respiratory hazard.
