  2. Aluminium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium

    As aluminium is a small atom relative to these chalcogens, these have four-coordinate tetrahedral aluminium with various polymorphs having structures related to wurtzite, with two-thirds of the possible metal sites occupied either in an orderly (α) or random (β) fashion; the sulfide also has a γ form related to γ-alumina, and an unusual ...

  3. Aluminium alloy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_alloy

    Note that the term aircraft aluminium or aerospace aluminium usually refers to 7075. [65] [66] 4047 aluminium is a unique alloy used in both the aerospace and automotive applications as a cladding alloy or filler material. As filler, aluminium alloy 4047 strips can be combined to intricate applications to bond two metals. [67]

  5. History of aluminium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_aluminium

    Aluminium (or aluminum) metal is very rare in native form, and the process to refine it from ores is complex, so for most of human history it was unknown. However, the compound alum has been known since the 5th century BCE and was used extensively by the ancients for dyeing .

  6. Crossword abbreviations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossword_abbreviations

    The abbreviation is not always a short form of the word used in the clue. For example: "Knight" for N (the symbol used in chess notation) Taking this one stage further, the clue word can hint at the word or words to be abbreviated rather than giving the word itself. For example: "About" for C or CA (for "circa"), or RE.

    Aluminium also forms complex metallic alloys, like β–Al–Mg, ξ'–Al–Pd–Mn, and T–Al 3 Mn. Beryllium. Lockalloy (62% beryllium ...

  8. Aluminium (I) compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium(I)_compounds

    Along with aluminium(II), it is an extremely unstable form of aluminium. While late Group 13 elements such as thallium and indium prefer the +1 oxidation state, aluminium(I) is rare. Aluminium does not experience the inert-pair effect , a phenomenon where valence s electrons are poorly shielded from nuclear charge due to the presence of filled ...

  9. Hall–Héroult process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall–Héroult_process

    The Hall–Héroult process is the major industrial process for smelting aluminium.It involves dissolving aluminium oxide (alumina) (obtained most often from bauxite, aluminium's chief ore, through the Bayer process) in molten cryolite and electrolyzing the molten salt bath, typically in a purpose-built cell.
