Aluminum is one of the key metal with the properties of being a lightweight, nonmagnetic, soft, and ductile metal. It is widely used in applications associated to food & packaging and pharmaceutical industries. It is a nontoxic metal, preserving food for the longer duration, inhibiting microorganism’s growth. Aluminum is also a good conductor of electricity and also used widely in electrical transmission lines. Moreover, it is also used as a propellant for the solid rocket booster motor in a space shuttle owing to high volumetric energy density. The corrosion resistance, reflectivity, and recyclability are some of the other characteristics of Aluminum, making it a favorable choice for various industrial applications.
