Aluminium is, to say the least, a popular metal. The aluminium market is one of the biggest for any raw material in the world, with a very significant market size, and has the second highest consumption volume for any nonmetallic material on the planet. One of the materials aluminium competes with is steel, the very foundation of any modern-day structure. Aluminium\u2019s demand is incredibly high, and that\u2019s not stopping anytime soon according to Aluminium Leader. So what explains this insatiable lust for the metal, and what are the pros and cons to its use and the usage of\u00a0aluminium disks<\/a>\u00a0in engineering? The simple answer is that aluminium\u2019s mechanical properties are astounding\u2014but let\u2019s get into that a bit more thoroughly.<\/p>\n

A Short History<\/h4>\n
Aluminium first made its debut as a known metal about two centuries ago, when it was extracted for the first time in its pure form in Denmark by chemist Hans Christian. However, at the time, that extraction process was so unbelievably expensive that aluminium had a higher value than silver and gold. It wasn\u2019t until the end of the 18th century that people figured out how to extract it in a cost-effective way and by then, its high technical usability and 100 percent recyclability made it highly sought-after. In the past days, aluminium served as the metal of choice for Napoleon\u2019s plates. Today, its use is limitless, from aerospace and energy to transportation and a wide variety of other highly specialized industries with complex engineering tasks and needs. And here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n
The Advantages of Aluminium<\/h4>\n
There are pros and cons to every material, but aluminium probably takes the cake for its sheer versatility. Aluminium is highly corrosion resistant, which makes it incredibly valuable in most industries with specific environmental needs. And as if that weren\u2019t enough, it\u2019s also very easy to machine and coat in order to apply the specific characteristics you need on its surface. Aluminium is also extremely colorable, which not just helps in superficial ways, but also means that other specialized coating options allow you to change the properties of the metal. Finally, it\u2019s nonmagnetic, which means that in places where the world\u2019s most common industrial metal\u2014the ferrous steel with its magnetic properties\u2014simply isn\u2019t applicable due to its magnetism, the non-magnetic properties of aluminium disks, wires, bars, or plates are very useful indeed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
