Aluminium is comparatively ‘new’ industrial metal, having been produced in commercial quantities for only a little over 100 years. Yet today aluminium is very widely used in the world around us – if you are visiting Star’s website today on a computer or handheld device you are using aluminium – and its use is increasing at a faster trend rate than that of any other industrial metal, bar stainless steel.
