[China Aluminum Network] Do you know the origin of aluminum? Mr. Spen King Floating Valve Balls,Water Heater Float Valve,Tank Float Valve,Ballcock Valve WENZHOU ZHENHONG VALVE BALL CO., LTD , https://www.zhvalveball.com
According to the legend, on a certain day in ancient Rome, a stranger visited the Roman Emperor Tebilius and offered a cup made of a new metal he had extracted from clay. The cup sparkled like silver, but the weight very light. Although the emperor expressed gratitude on his face, he was afraid that such a dazzling new metal would devalue his gold and silver treasures and ordered the inventor to beheaded. This new metal is aluminum that is now very familiar to everyone. It was not until 1809 that the British David named the new metal Alumium and later changed to Aluminium, a word derived from the ancient Roman alumen.
Why is the price of aluminum more expensive than gold? That is because metal aluminum is generally refined by electrolysis, and the extraction of a ton of aluminum consumes approximately 16,000 kilowatt-hours of electrical energy. In the era when electricity was not used, it was not easy to smelt aluminum, so it was rare and precious. No wonder aluminum was called “silver goldâ€. Even in the chemical industry, aluminum is considered more expensive. For example, the Royal Society of the United Kingdom in order to commend Mendeleev's outstanding contribution to chemistry, he did not hesitate to make an aluminum cup to him. 
In fact, the origin of Britain and aluminum is not limited to this. As early as 1948, Britain, which was in post-war recovery (World War II), was very deficient in steel. During the war, aircraft manufacturing drove the manufacture of aluminum alloys, resulting in abundant aluminum. Mr. Spen King was inspired by the aviation industry and chose to supply abundant aluminum alloy at the time as the outer shell of Land Rover. The all-aluminum body greatly improved the car's corrosion resistance and drastically reduced the weight of the body, which made Land Rover famous overnight. 
With the advancement of technology and innovation, as well as environmental protection and energy conservation trends, Land Rover has introduced a revolutionary all-aluminum body structure. It is much lighter than steel cars of relatively equal strength. The resulting savings in emissions are very significant, and they are also helpful for handling.
As the aluminum alloy material is sensitive to heat, if the conventional welding process is used to connect the body parts, there is a problem that the material is easily deformed by heat and the strength is decreased. Under the efforts of Land Rover engineers, innovative riveting technology was used instead of spot welding, and the bonding process was used to improve the connection strength of various components. At the same time, the gluing process also helps to improve the body's tightness.
It is worth mentioning that 75% of the body aluminum is from recycled metal, which saves energy in the manufacturing process by 95% because it does not have to use energy-intensive processes.
Looking back on history, Land Rover's pursuit of innovation will never stop. Wonderful thinking left a clear footprint in the development process of each Land Rover. During the 65-year exploration and continuous development, Land Rover has boldly innovated and surpassed itself, becoming the SUV brand in consumers' minds.
