How Aluminium Is Made?

Aluminum is one of the metals that has the greatest impact on our lives. Its peculiar properties have meant that in a relatively short time (it was isolated for the first time in 1825) it has prevailed over other materials in countless industrial applications, which has meant that we can find it in our everyday environment without having to search the least bit.

Objects as diverse as cans of preserves, beer or soft drinks; the bodywork of some cars or the chassis of many of our mobile phones and laptops, among many other devices, are made of aluminum.

Fortunately, it is one of the most abundant chemical elements in the earth's crust (scientists estimate that this layer of our planet contains 8% aluminum).

In fact, only oxygen and silicon are more abundant in the crust, so it seems unlikely that we will run out of it. In any case, this is just one of the many very interesting data that this metal has in store for us.

We suggest that we discover together why it is worth getting to know it better.
