ALUMINUM : As a Building Material PRESENTED BY: Muneeb khan Junaid Amir BA.19.08 B-ARCH-19-14 Aluminum as a Building Material Sufiyan Sanaullah BA.19.04 Hafiz M Farooq BA.19. 2/7/20XX 2 INTRODUCTION • • • • • • • • • • • Sample Footer Text Aluminum (Al) is the third most abundant element, subordinate only to oxygen and silicon, and it makes up 8 % of the Earth's crust. It is also the only light metal to find its application in load-bearing structures in civil engineering. Nowadays, only steel is used more than aluminum in the field of civil engineering. Physically, chemically and mechanically AI is material like Steel Brass Copper Zinc Lead Titanium It can be melted, cast, machined and formed much like these metals and it conducts electric current 2/7/20XX 3 PROPERTIES: • CORROSION RESISTENCE: AI Naturally generates a protective oxide coating and is highly corrosion resistant. • ELECTRICAL AND THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY: • Very good conductor of heat and electricity and its relation to its weight it is more better then copper • REFLECTIVITY: • AI is a good reflector of visible light as well as heat and that together with its low weight makes it an ideal material for reflectors e.g. in rescue blankets • DUCTILITY: • AI is ductile and has low melting point and density. In molten position it can be processed in multiple ways. It makes easier to form any shape from aluminum. • IMPERMEABLE AND OOURLESS: • AI foil even when it is rolled to 0.77mm thickness it does not let taste or let light aroma out and is impermeable which makes it ideal for packaging sensitive products such as food and pharmaceuticals. • RECYCLEABILITY: • AI is 100 percent recyclable with no damage to its quality.
