Appearance in the air can form of aluminum is a kind of oxide film, namely 3 oxidation 2 aluminium Al2O3, making aluminum even in baidu will not be of high temperature oxidation, the appearance of aluminum cans also have this kind of oxide film, even if it is equipped with liquid (liquid can form a solution of aluminum and oxygen speed the oxidation reaction, also won't like iron rust at the meeting.
At the same time, the relative density of aluminum is small, the same volume of aluminum is much smaller than the mass of iron, the hand can, of course, is the more portable the better, who do not want to take a hundred grams of heavy guy shopping?...
Finally, aluminium industry has been relatively mature, can be high speed mass production by electrolytic aluminium, aluminium and plasticity, with different metal easily converted into other alloys, aluminum, hardness, plasticity, and even memory (that is, after the deformation ability of recoverable) has greatly improved (aluminum cans have a good memory, holding in his hand is generally not deformation, aluminum alloy Windows have been used by many families, most of food packaging tin alloy, because of easy processing, off also convenient, high plasticity), can be said to be extremely versatile cheap metal.
At the same time, it is very convenient to recycle and use aluminum well. The utilization rate of resources in developed countries can reach 120%, which is largely due to the use of recycled aluminum.
