Aluminum

Aluminum is a chemical element with the symbol Al and the atomic number 13 in the periodic table. It is a silvery-white, lightweight, and non-magnetic metal that is commonly found in nature and is the third most abundant element in the Earth's crust. Aluminum has high strength, is corrosion-resistant, and has good conductivity for heat and electricity. Due to its properties and availability, aluminum is used in many applications, such as in aerospace, construction, electronics, the packaging industry, vehicles, and many other areas. It is also used to produce aluminum alloys, which have even higher strength properties and are employed in many critical applications, such as in airplanes and race cars.
