Aluminum

Aluminum is a product manufactured in a Steelworks. Bauxite is the material required to make it. It can be used as material for other products.
==History==
Between 1825 and 1827, Hans Christian Oersted and Friedrich Wöhler discovered aluminium. It was still very expensive then and predominantly found in bauxite. In 1886 the technician Charles Martin Hall of Ohio experimented with the light metal. During his tests, he tried to mould it into cooking utensils. This resulted in utensils that were lighter and more durable than conventional tin or iron pots. Aluminium never loses its shine and also distributes heat evenly over its surface. In 1903 aluminum dishes started to take over the global market. In 1947 R.R. Reynolds replaced the traditional tin-lead foil which had been used for wrapping tobacco and sweets with 0.0175 mm thin aluminum foil.
==Did You Know That?==
Aluminium dishes, aluminium foil and other everyday objects made of aluminium have flooded the global market since the discovery of the raw material in 1903. The metal is lighter and more robust, hygienic and heat-resistant than its predecessors tin and iron. 1947 saw the first use of wrapping foil made from aluminium. As well as being much thinner than conventional material, aluminium foil is also insulating and tear-resistant. Many new metals are born by chance, discovered as side products of space and aeronautics research.
