A metallic element first isolated by Wahler in 1827. It oceurs in nature in a great variety of minerals, usually combined with silica, either alone or in connection with iron, magnesium, calcium, and sodium. It also occurs native as an oxide.

Sp. gr. of cast a., 2°56; of wrought a., 2°67. It melts at 700° C., and, if allowed to solidify slowly, a umes a crystalline texture. It forms alloys’ with copper, silver, and mercury, In composition, it acts apparently as a triad, Replacing, 3 atoms of univalent elements; but, in reality, it is probably a tetrad, its salts having the general constitution R = Al — AIZ R"”, in which one of the 4 linking bonds of each a. atom serves to unite the latter to its neighbor, Atomic weight, 27°3; symbol, Al.
