Aluminum is an electronegative metal that possesses strong affinity for oxygen. It is largely produced from bauxite. It exhibits superior physical properties for instance ductility, malleability, durability, and machinability. It possesses high degree of conductivity, extremely light having 2.7 g/ccm density, impervious to dust, and exhibits significant strength when alloyed. It is generally used in pharmaceutical and food & packaging industries, as it is nontoxic in nature, inhibits growth of microorganisms and preserves food for prolonged times. It is good electrical conductor thus used frequently in electrical transmission lines. Additionally, it is used as a key propellant for solid rocket booster motor in space shuttle owing to its high volumetric energy density.
The key characteristics are included high strength, lightweight, flexibility, corrosion resistance, good thermal & electrical conductivity and barrier properties.
