Things you might not know about Aluminum:

  1. Since 1972, an estimated 660-plus billion beverage cans have been recycled—placed end-to-end; they could stretch to the moon nearly 300 times.
  2. Aluminum is nonmagnetic and nonsparking.
  3. Corrosion resistance can be excellent due to a thin surface layer of aluminum oxide that forms when the metal is exposed to air, effectively preventing further oxidation.
  4. Almost all metallic aluminum is produced from the ore bauxite.
