  2. Aluminium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium

    Chemically, aluminium is a post-transition metal in the boron group; as is common for the group, aluminium forms compounds primarily in the +3 oxidation state. The aluminium cation Al 3+ is small and highly charged; as such, it has more polarizing power, and bonds formed by aluminium have a more covalent character.

  3. History of aluminium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_aluminium

    History of aluminium. Extrusion billets of aluminium in Yugoslavia, 1968. Aluminium (or aluminum) metal is very rare in native form, and the process to refine it from ores is complex, so for most of human history it was unknown. However, the compound alum has been known since the 5th century BCE and was used extensively by the ancients for dyeing.

  4. Aluminium alloy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_alloy

    An aluminium alloy (UK / IUPAC) or aluminum alloy (NA; see spelling differences) is an alloy in which aluminium (Al) is the predominant metal. The typical alloying elements are copper, magnesium, manganese, silicon, tin, nickel and zinc. There are two principal classifications, namely casting alloys and wrought alloys, both of which are further ...

    Data from USGS. The aluminum industry in the United States in 2023 produced 860 thousand metric tons of aluminum from refined metal ore (primary production), at six smelters. In addition, US industry recycled 3.4 million tons of aluminum (so-called secondary production aluminum). [1] Total annual imports of metal and alloy for use in secondary ...

  6. Aluminium oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_oxide

    Aluminium oxide is an amphoteric substance, meaning it can react with both acids and bases, such as hydrofluoric acid and sodium hydroxide, acting as an acid with a base and a base with an acid, neutralising the other and producing a salt. Al 2 O 3 + 6 HF → 2 AlF 3 + 3 H 2 O.

  7. Aluminium compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_compounds

    Aluminium's electropositive behavior, high affinity for oxygen, and highly negative standard electrode potential are all more similar to those of scandium, yttrium, lanthanum, and actinium, which have ds 2 configurations of three valence electrons outside a noble gas core: aluminium is the most electropositive metal in its group.
