Aluminum Paint Color Guide: Aluminum metal boasts a shimmering silver whiteness to its surface that may appear dull, depending on the texture and roughness. Pure aluminum may be soft and lack strength, but this isn't an issue when various alloys are used. Alloys of aluminium have high tensile strength and hardness due to their increased resistance against wear and tear which makes them more durable for most applications. Way back in 1760, humankind first attempted to produce aluminum metal. But it was not until 1824 that the Danish physicist and chemist Hans Christian Ørsted achieved success - he reacted anhydrous aluminum chloride with potassium amalgam, producing a metallic lump looking similar to tin. In 1827, German chemist Friedrich Wöhler emulated Ørsted's experiments but did not detect any aluminum. He soon replicated the same study that year by combining anhydro
