Aluminium is the youngest metal in use by humans. Unlike copper, gold and
iron, aluminium can not be extracted from the ground and purified by simple technologies,
such as strong fire or remelting processes. Aluminium production became possible only when
the production of electricity became possible, only when chemistry advanced enough.
Here aluNET International pays tribute to those who worked to create the next
age. Humanity moved beyond the age of stone to the age of copper, then to the age of iron
and steel, now is the turn of ages once again and aluminium comes to name the new age.
