Aluminum and its Uses

We will discuss here about the aluminum and its uses. We treat aluminium as a mineral.

Aluminum is another important metal used in our life everyday. It is extracted from an ore called Bauxite. Aluminium is soft, light in weight and a silver colored metallic element. It is a good conductor of heat and electricity. Pure aluminium does not lose its color by weathering.

Aluminium foils are used to prepare tablet strips and to wrap food and other materials. A corrugated sheet of this metal is used for roofing.
