Introduction
• It is a non ferrous material commonly used
• It is present in abundance in earth surface
• Exists in clay in not commercial ore “bauxite”
• Bauxite is Hydrated Aluminium Oxide
• Is present as Mono and Tri hydrates form
• Chief impurities are oxide, silica, clay & titanium
oxide
• Found in Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh
Properties of Aluminium
• Pure aluminium has silvery color and lusture
• Commercial grades show a bluish tinge
• High purity = Greater resistance to corrosion
• It is ductile and malleable
• Specific gravity is 2.7
• It is strong in proportion to its weight
• Melting point = 658 C; Boiling point = 2057 C
• Its electrical resistivity is 2.669 micro ohms/ cm3
@ 20 C
• Its tensile strength is from 95 – 157 N/m2
• It is a good conductor of heat and electricity
• It forms useful alloys with Fe, Cu, Zn & others
• Its is unaffected by ordinary atmospheric
influences but is corroded in sea water
• It is electron positive to most metals.

Uses of Aluminium
• Because it is soft little pure aluminium is used in cast
form
• After being rolled into sheets it may be stamped into
variety of shapes
• It is often used as an alloy along other metals to make
furniture, rail-road and trolley cars, automobile
bodies and pistons, electric cables & bus bars, kitchen
utensils and collapsible tubes of pastes
• In finely divided form it is used as pigments in paints
~ priming coat for wood/ protective coat for metals
• Is used in deoxidizing molten iron and steel
• Used as foils for wrapping chocolates/ food etc.
Advantages of Aluminium
• Can be written by taking points from above Topics
