	TEE Reference Data Sheet for Aluminum
		Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the earth's crust, and the third most abundant element; however, elemental aluminum does not occur in nature.
		Pure aluminum is soft and lacks strength, but can easily be formed, machined, or cast; has a high thermal conductivity; and has excellent corrosion resistance due to a protective coating of aluminum oxide formed on the surface (this coating is at times deliberately thickened in the process of "anodizing").
		Aluminum particles, when in dust, powder, or flake forms from operations such as manufacturing powder, grinding, finishing, and processing, may be suspended as a dust cloud in air and consequently may ignite and cause serious damage.

	The Amazing Rusting Aluminum - Popular Science
		In crystal form, aluminum oxide is called corundum, sapphire or ruby (depending on the color), and it is among the hardest substances known.
		By rusting, aluminum is forming a protective coating that’s chemically identical to sapphire—transparent, impervious to air and many chemicals, and able to protect the surface from further rusting: As soon as a microscopically thin layer has formed, the rusting stops.
		Applied to aluminum’s surface, mercury will infiltrate the metal and disrupt its protective coating, allowing it to “rust” (in the more destructive sense) continuously by preventing a new layer of oxide from forming.
