Aluminium (also called Aluminum) is the third most abundant element in the Earth's crust. Engineers machine, cast, draw and extrude aluminium owing to its soft, lightweight, ductile and durable properties.
Symbol: Al Atomic number: 13 Atomic mass: 26.9815385 Element category: Post-transition metal, sometimes regarded as a metalloid Aluminium (also known as Al) is the third most common element in the Earth’s crust. It is processed, cast, drawn and extruded with ease owing to its relatively soft, lightweight, ductile and durable characteristics. Aluminium oxide (Al2O3), commonly known as bauxite in its refined form, is a white or nearly colourless crystalline substance. It is used as a material in the melting process of aluminium metal. Aluminium oxide is a ceramic material that demonstrates high thermal conductivity, compressive strength and resistance to changes in temperature.
Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) now offers a range of aluminium products, including:
Various Applications: The physical properties of aluminium allow its use in multiple applications. It is used in aerospace, automotive manufacture, construction and electronics, thereby supporting the industrial sector with proven functionality.
Strength with Low Mass: Aluminium exhibits a high strength-to-weight ratio. Its use in structural components reduces overall mass, which is crucial for weight-sensitive applications.
Precision and Purity: The production process adheres to stringent industrial standards and precise specifications. This ensures that the aluminium maintains a purity exceeding 99% for accurate performance and reproducible results.
Technical Expertise: The technical team possesses extensive knowledge of aluminium’s properties and applications. They provide tailored technical support and consultation to address specific requirements.
Reliable Supply: Given that continuous material supply is essential, a global distribution network and efficient logistics secure access to aluminium products when required.
