Aluminum

The most abundant metal in the crust of the Earth. Because it is not very dense and is resistant to corrosion, it has a wide variety of commercial uses, notably in transportation, packaging, and construction. It is also used in home appliances. Aluminum is also spelled aluminium, especially in countries where British English predominates.

FLUORIDES: Fluorides salts act as surfactants affecting surface tension forces between flux, liquid metal, and aluminum oxides. As the flux wets the interface between the aluminum oxide particles and the liquid metal, the adhesion force between the liquid aluminum and the oxides decreases, promoting oxide separation and metal coalescence.
