ALUMINIUM HISTORY

In 1827, German chemist Friedrich Wöhler was the first to decompose anhydrous aluminium chloride by mixing it with potassium. But before that, Hans Christian Øersted, a Danish physicist and chemist, passed to literature by producing aluminium in an impure form.

Years later; In 1886, American Charles Martin Hall applied for a patent by doing various studies to obtain aluminium, but in the same year French Paul Heroultda applied for a patent in Europe with the same technique.

Due to this coincidence, the Hall-Heroult process,which is named after both scientists, is being used by the whole world for aluminium ore.

By the end of the 1880s, the first aluminium sculpture took its place in London recorded in history. Thus, alumminium has taken its place in the field of art.

In the following years, it was used in the production of millions of different products in many areas of the industry and gained a large share in the world economy.

Aluminmium and its components has great importance in the aerospace and aciation industry. Thanks to its structure, it has a wide range of uses in transportation, construction and architecture, which require lightness and high strenth features.

With the deceloping technology, production techniques are developed and their usage areas are increasing day by day.
