INTRODUCTION

Aluminum containing variable amounts of manganese, silicon, copper, Magnesium, lead bismuth, nickel, chromium, zinc ortin. A wide range of uses and properties is possible.  Always may be obtained for costing or working heat  treatable or non-heat treatable with a wide range of strength  corrosion  resistance machinability and weldability.

The Latin in name Alumen was employed by pliny.  The chemical Alum had been used for car tarius but it was not until 1922 that French Hoffman concluded from experiments that the book of alum was a true and distinct Earth.  Before the end of that century the name of the earth had been anglicized to Alumina.

In 1807 Sir Humphrey Davy become convinced that alumina had a metallic base. He attempted to reduce it by heating it  with potash  and  an electrolyzing mixture Although his  efforts  were unsuccessful, The  named  the  material  he  could not secure aluminium. In his later writing Davy changed the name to aluminium to correspond with the name of the oxide alumini. By 1945 Wholer succeeded in producing aluminium in slightly larger amounts. He reported some particles as large as bit pin heads because of the oxide film on the particles, he was unable to make them coalesce.

He hammered out two metallic globules, with a combined wt. of 32 mg. And proceeded to measure specific gravity, ductility and air stability of the metal. He also  demonstrated  that  it melted  before  a  blow pipe flame and  he  showed  the  chemical relation  ship of aluminium to other metal and compounds. These pirotal experiments by wholor provided the first awareness of the remarkable lightness of aluminium.

Sainte-daix deville felt that aluminium should be available in bar and ingot form and started work toward this good. He received  grant  from  the French academy  for  research  on  the production of aluminium in trigued by the potential of  aluminium as  a  material for fabricating helmets and  armor  napoleon  III financed  Sairle claix deville to continue his experiments  on  a larger  scale.   The work was carried on at the lowel Chemical work, the process appeared practical but expensive.

The epochal discovery by charles Martin Hall is in the  full tradition  of  Edison, Stenmetz, and the legion of other young scientific geniuses who led the world into the twentieth  century and  modern industrial  age.  Driven only by his imagination  and determination,  working in literally a wood shed laboratory  with make shift equipment, Hall found at 22 a secret that for  decades had eluded top scientists.

Hall was born to invent something. It happened to be aluminium that captured his attention.  As a youth  he  had  a certain  fame in his neighborhood, based on the  sounds,  smalls, and  occasionally   even  sights  (a  puff  of  smoke)  from  his experiments  in  a couple stop his parents obarlin,  choio  home.  After bed time, instead of swash buckling tales, he read and  re-read  one of his preacher farther's college chemistry text,  from which  he first become intrigued by the scientific challenge  and economic potential of improving on whohler's process.
