aluminum

a lightweight, silver-coloured metal

A metal refined from bauxite ore into ingots by electrolysis. The ingots are rolled into thin sheets of foil or drawn and formed into can bodies. Foil may range in thickness from 7 to 150 microns.

(n) a silvery ductile metallic element found primarily in bauxite

(Chemical Symbol Al) Silver to white low density metal. High thermal and electric conductivity. Aluminium powder is inflameable. Aluminium is very reactive. It protects itself by forming a strong and stable surface of Aluminium oxide. This Oxide-Layer can even be improved by artificial oxidation, for example by Plasma treatment with an Oxygene proc [..]

Aluminium is a light metal that does not occur naturally in its pure state. It is normally obtained from bauxite ore. Hot sodium hydroxide solution is used to turn this ore into sodium aluminate, whic [..]

A light, ductile and malleable silver-white metal. The chemical symbol for aluminium is Al.

<element> <chemistry> The metallic base of alumina. This metal is white, but with a bluish tinge, and is remarkable for its resistance to oxidation, and for its lightness, pertaining a specific gravity of about 2.6. Aluminium bronze or gold, a pale gold-coloured alloy of aluminium and copper, used for journal bearings, etc. Atomic weigh [..]

A lightweight metallic element with a protective oxide surface making it resistant to corrosion. Availabe in a wide variety of colors, it can be cast and welded to create a combination of strength and [..]
