Aluminium

Alloys in aluminum material is resistant to wind and water (sea resistant), - typically used in the offshore industry.

Aluminum is used in the pharmaceutical industry because it is easy to keep sterile with its very fine-grained surface.

Aluminum is suitable for interiors due to its very low density. Chairs and tables will not be heavy, but still solid.

Anodizing aluminum recreates the natural surface of aluminum, making it very decorative for, for example, candlesticks.

Selection of alloys within aluminum:
AlSi10Mg also heat treated
AlSi10Cu
AlSi12Mg – also heat treated
AlSi7Mg
AlSi8Cu3Mn

How is aluminum produced?
Virtually all aluminum is produced from the mineral bauxite in two main steps. Both of these steps were developed in the 1880s. First, bauxite is converted into pure aluminum oxide by the so-called Bayer process.Here, the dried and crushed ore is dissolved by treatment with sodium hydroxide under elevated pressure and temperature.1. This is followed by the reduction of the aluminium oxide to pure aluminium by electrolysis..

Aluminum is located in group 13 of the periodic table and has the atomic symbol Al. It is the third most abundant element in the Earth's crust. Aluminum has a low density (1/3 of iron), high mechanical strength in alloys and is corrosion resistant
