The main properties which make aluminium a valuable material are its low density, strength, recyclability, corrosion resistance, durability, ductility, formability and conductivity. Due to this unique combination of properties, the variety of applications of aluminium continues to increase. It is essential in our daily lives. We cannot fly, go by high speed train, high performance car or fast ferry without it. Nor can we get heat and light into our homes and offices without it. We depend on it to preserve our food, our medicine and to provide electronic components for our computers.
