Duralumin (Aluminum-lithium alloy)

Duralumin is an advanced aluminum alloy that includes small amounts of copper, magnesium, and manganese, making it stronger and more durable than pure aluminum. It is often used in aerospace and engineering applications due to its high strength-to-weight ratio, meaning it provides robustness without being heavy. Sometimes, it’s referred to as an aluminum-lithium alloy when lithium is added, further reducing weight and improving performance. This combination of materials results in a lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and high-performance metal ideal for aircraft, spacecraft, and high-end engineering projects.
