 INTRODUCTION
Aluminum is the third most abundant element
(after oxygen and silicon), and the most
abundant metal, in the Earth's crust.
It is available in various forms such as
oxides, sulphate ,silicate , phosphate etc.
But it is commercially produced mainly
from bauxite.

 PROPERTIES OF ALUMINIUM

It is a very good conductor of heat

and electricity.
2. It is a silvery white metal with a bluish tinge and it
exhibits bright lustier on a freshly broken surface.
3. It is a non-magnetic substance.
4. It is highly resistant to corrosion

5. It is light in weight, malleable, and ductile.

6. It is very soft.

7. It possesses great toughness and tensile strength.

8. Readily dissolves in HCl

 CHARACTERISTIC OF ALUMINIUM

Aluminum can be recycled easily.

• Almost all aluminum are used in construction.

• High scrape value

• Non corrosive and non toxic so used for both indoor and outdoor
application

• It resist corrosion by water, snow and moisture without any coating.

• Light weight and high strength and flexible

• It dose not strikes spark nor get brittle under extreme cold or heat.

 WHY IT IS USED AS A
B U I L D I N G M AT E R I A L ?

Air tightness
 Sealed for dust rainwater
etc. when closed
 High functional
advantage in air-
conditioned buildings
Appearance
 Smooth bright finish

 Strength
 Te n s i l e s t r e n g t h s a l a l l o y s 7 0 - 7 0 0 m p a .

 The range for alloys used in extrusion is

150 – 300 mpa.

 Does not become brittle at low

temperatures.

Instead, its strength increases.

At high temperatures, aluminum's strength

decreases. At temperatures continuously
above 100°C, strength is affected to the
extent that the weakening must be taken into
account weight

• external non-load bearing wall designed to carry

its own weight

• Sufficient strong to carry wind loads

•  Larger sizes can be produced by using

interlocking sections
