    Duralumin is defined as a lightweight, silvery metal aluminum alloy that is strong, soft, malleable, ductile, and flexible. It usually used for aircrafts and racecars due to its low density. Duralumin contains aluminum (over 90%), copper (4%), magnesium (1%), manganese (less than 1%), and sometimes silicon. It was discovered in 1910 and became popular for use in precision tools, and today most aluminum materials are actually duralumin.
