aluminum actually corrodes quicker, but it oxidizes to a layer of aluminum oxide that seals out air and water, whereas iron has a permeable oxide that lets air and water get to the iron under the oxide. So in practice it doesn't rust nearly as fast as iron

Sad to see so low level of intellect in the comment section; can't even spell the element aluminium correctly

Counterpoint for iron, stainless steal. Or 1014L (the L stands for lead) its .14% carbon and the lead makes it more dense and resistent to rust

Someone took my stainless steal, but at least they cleaned up after themselves

Stainless steel has been around only 110 years. Imagine not having it. Crazy.

Al i want yo know is how is it prnounced. Is the last i silent?

[-] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 7 points 6 months ago

There is one i in Aluminum. It is not silent.

All the other elements use an i before the u. At some point we should fix the spelling: Helum, Sodum, Plutonum, etc
