Aluminum is a silvery white member of the boron group of chemical elements. It has the symbol Al, and its atomic number is 13. It is not soluble in water under normal circumstances.
Aluminum is light, strong, conductive, durable, flexible and easy to recycle. Bauxite and alumina represent the first two links in the value chain on the way to aluminum metal, and, in turn, to aluminum products. Remelt ingot is a non-alloyed aluminum metal used to supply foundry alloys in order to optimize production volume.
