Aluminium is the most common metal on Earth, even ahead of iron, its third most abundant element, and is found in the Earth\u2019s crust \u2013 though not in its pure form. It has to be extracted from bauxite using an energy-intensive production process. Its specific weight makes it a light metal with good stability.
