Devilliers Marine Design ▫️ Alum Facts ▫️ Aluminium (or Aluminum if you are from North America) is a silvery-white metal, the 13th element in the periodic table. Aluminium is the most widespread metal on Earth, and makes up 8%+ of the Earth's core mass. It's the third most common element after oxygen and silicon. ▫️ English chemist Sir Humphry Davy named the metal, coming up with the name from the mineral called alumina, taken from the French, who had based it on alum, a white mineral. ▫️ Sir Humphry initially spelt it alumium in 1807. He then switched to aluminum, and finally went for aluminium in 1812. ▫️ #aluminium #expedition #performance
