Aluminium is a lightweight, ductile, and corrosion-resistant metal with the symbol Al and atomic number 13, primarily produced through the Bayer and Hall-Héroult processes. It is widely used in construction for curtain walling, window frames, and various structural applications due to its strong and recyclable nature. Aluminium alloys typically contain elements like copper and magnesium, enhancing their properties for diverse uses.
Aluminium and its Alloys
- 1. (NON-FERROUS METAL) ALUMINIUM AND ITS ALLOYS
- 2. WHAT IS ALUMINIUM? Aluminium is a chemical element in the boron group with symbol Al and atomic number 13. It is a silvery-white, soft, nonmagnetic, ductile metal.

- 4. PROPERTIES Light in weight Processing Extremely strong Fully recyclableCorrosion resistant Temperature Fluctuations
- 6. USES • It is used in curtain walling, window frames and other glazed structures. • It is extensively used for rolling blinds, doors, exterior cladding and roofing, suspended ceilings, wall panels and partitions, heating and ventilation equipment, solar shading devices and complete prefabricated buildings. • Structures like helicopter decks, balustrades, scaffolding and ladders, are also commonly made of aluminium.
