I can't think of many things you encounter every day that just use straight iron. Only alloys that use iron

Meanwhile, you'll use very pure aluminum all the time

Sounds like aluminum is a loner and iron plays well with others. I'd bet there is still more iron encountered every day than aluminum even if the aluminum is pure and the iron is alloyed.

Pure virgin aluminium vs chad alloyed iron

I was super confused when I read "loaner", I thought you meant loaning as in like borrowing. But then I realized you meant "loner". Lol
