Aluminum, being the most useful and highly valuable industrial metal, is known for its exceptional property and characteristics. The metal, the element is known for the properties which make it count among those elements which are not that abundant in the Earth’s outer layer.
It is an element which is known for its light weight. Home appliances—the washing machine, dryer, refrigerator and laptop—exist as they are today because of aluminum’s light weight, structural strength and thermal characteristics. Iconic brands stretching from West Bend’s 1970 Presto Cooker to Apple’s iPod, iPad and iPhone share a single, common characteristic: the use of aluminum.
