ALUMINUM
Is more abundant than iron. However, as a constituent of the earth ‘s crust the occurrence of large deposits of aluminum is rare
SAMPLE PICTURE
Magnesium Is very similar to aluminum both in properties and uses. Like aluminum it occurs in nature with several mineral but it requires elaborate metallurgical processes to transform it into a mental.
SAMPLE PICTURE
Titanium Is also light weight strength and resistant to and corrosion When compared with aluminum and magnesium ,titanium is heavier but it retains its strength even when subjected to higher temperatures.
SAMPLE PICTURE
