Abstract

This article is discussed the production and application history of aluminium and its alloys in various fields from the discovery of the element to the present day: the main milestones are shown in chronological order. The goal of the work is to form an understanding of the development stages of investigation in this area, starting from the ideas of the nineteenth century and ending with modern knowledge. The author has analyzed and summarized the published material, including the foreign one, and highlighted the most important events.

Abstract (other)The article examines the history of obtaining and using aluminum and its alloys in various spheres of human activity, from the moment of the discovery of this element to the present day. Man began to use aluminum later than many other metals: it was isolated in its pure form only in the first half of the 19th century. However, due to its properties, it quickly found application in the economy and it is currently involved in almost all spheres of the human activity: this metal is widely used in the transport, electrical and food industries. Aluminum alloys are widely used, characterized by a combination of special physical and mechanical properties, namely, low density with excellent thermal conductivity and high corrosion resistance. Plus, they can be recycled and reused, which are undoubtedly a great environmental and economic benefit. The author analyzes and summarizes materials on the history of aluminum and its alloys, including foreign ones, and highlights the most important events in this area.
