Aluminum is a noble metal that has many virtues, and almost no downside, this is a too varied, a clear and rare example is the crown of Christian X Denmark, who was king between 1912 and 1947, it was aluminum .
Here are a few of its properties:
Light
that weighs a third of steel.
Specific Gravity: aluminum 2.7, steel 8.1, water 1
No rust
When in contact with air forms a layer of oxide that protects the metal. If the layer is damaged as a new contact with air. This makes it ideal for use in architecture for frames and parts that should be exposed to water and wind.
heat conductor
Ideal for making pots, electric irons. Their ability to transmit heat, means that it is never a good substitute for copper.
No toxic
can be in contact with food or medicine without passing toxicity. Used to candy wrappers, blister packs of drugs, pot, pots and utensils, foil, tubes of toothpaste.
Nonmagnetic
is used in the casings of engines, aircraft, electronics and aerospace engineering.
Malleability
The aluminum can be worked to a degree that would not support other metals.
