An introduction to Aluminium

It is an incredibly versatile substance which shares many characteristics with substances such as steel and brass, in that it can be melted, formed, cast and machined, and is also able to conduct electricity. Where it differs is in being extremely lightweight, something which makes it the material of choice for a wide range of industries. The other properties offered by aluminium are as follows:
