Opis

Aluminum is one of the most widespread elements, making up about 8.1% of the Earth's crust. In addition to its abundance, it's one of the most commonly used industrial metals. This is due to its unique combination of desirable properties, such as a high strength-to-weight ratio, good electrical and thermal conductivity, cost-effectiveness, and formability.Aluminum is also known for its natural corrosion resistance and durability. However, just like any other metal, it can undergo corrosion in certain conditions. This can affect its mechanical properties and lead to structural weakness or even premature material failure in extreme cases.
