Aluminum has a density of 2.7 kg\/dm3 at room temperature, which is about one-third of the density of iron and steel. With proper alloying and microstructure, as described in the Journal of Sustainable Metallurgy<\/em>, a high strength-to-weight aluminum ratio can be achieved \u2014 along with great flexibility for efficient formability \u2014 into complex shapes using contemporary design features.<\/p>\n But production of the group of metals that includes aluminum stands for 40% of all industrial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Its production is characterized as energy intensive, as its processes require significant electrical energy for their operation. This…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
