What is Aluminium?

Aluminium (or aluminum) is a lightweight, silvery-white metal. It is highly versatile due to its low density, high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and recyclability. It is commonly used in transportation (aircraft, cars, trains), packaging (cans, foil), construction (windows, doors), electrical transmission lines, and a wide range of consumer products.
