Pure aluminium is a relatively soft, durable, lightweight, ductile and malleable metal. Being resistant to atmospheric corrosion, it is strong at low temperatures. Alloying additions of magnesium and silicon improve its strength and are very common.
Aluminium and its alloys are used extensively in industry including:
- Aerospace: for the manufacture of fuselages and wings
- Automotive: for lightweight engines and bodywork
- Construction: for roofing materials and window frames.
