The Most Useful Metal–Aluminum

The Most Useful Metal–Aluminum. The secret of the most useful metal in the world. It is the 1st metal in terms of abundance, making up about 7-8% of the earth’s crust. Ironically, it has been hard to mine and use this metal for industrial and commercial purposes until the 1880’s and the discovery of cost efficient methods. The Romans and Greeks used it in salt form for medicinal purposes. Bars or ingots of the metal were kept alongside silver and gold and other jewels.

Today, not a gadget, an engine, or an equipment is produced without the help of this metal. Its commercial manufacture is second only to iron. I am talking about the versatile aluminum. Lightweight, malleable and ductile, with high strength, and non corrosive properties; this metal is the darling of the industrial world. Aluminum cast parts are used in automobiles, marine engines, bikes, construction equipment, and kitchen utensils. It is also found in electrical high wires, heat coils, and watches.

Furthermore, the process of aluminum part castings is also the process of other kinds of metal alloys such as zinc, magnesium, and iron. They are sand and die casting, permanent mold and evaporation pattern casting, composite mold and hybrid permanent mold casting, investment and plaster casting. All these methods in the aluminum casting process make this metal available and useful to all.

There is a basic process in metal casting. It involves molten aluminum metal which is poured into a mold and left for a while to solidify. The difference lies in the kind of mold used. Die Casting Tooling.
