Origins of the Name The word‚ Aluminium originates from the ancient Latin word for alum‚ alumen‚ which is potassium aluminum sulfate‚ meaning “bitter salt”. We pronounce the element of aluminium’s name as follows‚ al-yuh-min-ee-uhm‚ which conforms to the IUPAC pronunciation of the word‚ with the regular ‘ium’ ending of majority of the elements of the periodic table. The History Aluminium was first discovered in 1825‚ by early discoverer‚ Hans Christian Oersted in Denmark. Before this time‚ alum

are two key reasons for using thermoplastic composites: * save time & handling costs in production * eliminate labour-intensive riveting & bonding * can produce large profile sections that are some 20 % lighter than metal & alloys. * materials are exceptionally stiff and can tolerate vibrations A380 (largest passenger plane) - 25 % of the structure & components are composites. And in the next generation of aircraft‚ the content of composites will double. A350

etc. they are also used in transportation such as cars‚ buses‚ trucks‚ trains. Computers and electronic devices are also made up of metals. Electrical power production and distribution‚ even most of the construction is made out of steel which is an alloy; a mixture of metals such as iron and carbon. And it is because of the specific properties of metals‚ which allow them to be used in the making of such objects. Although we see metals almost everywhere we go‚ metals are not found easily. In fact‚

Chemistry: Research task 1 5.1- define the terms mineral and ore with reference to economic and non-economic deposits of natural resources The term ‘ore minerals’ is commonly referred to as economic minerals Mineral: naturally occurring compounds. Rocks are mixtures of various minerals. Most minerals are lattice structures‚ both ionic and covalent. Economic minerals have been divided into two main categories: Metalliferous minerals- mined to extract a metal Industrial mineral- either has

of 7075 alloy The present study reports the effect of cold working on bending and tensile behavior of Brass‚ Copper‚ Aluminium. A series of experiments involving cold rolling (58% cold work) have been conducted for those three materials. The Vickers number of hardness for cold rolled specimens can be show very clearly that it has increasing up the number itself likewise the number of thickness reduction which also increasing. Which its number of Vickers can be rated as follow as Aluminium < Copper
