  aluminum is a great metal for making flashlights. Especially after anodizing it.

  It allows heat to be dissipated really fast too.

    Makes a great lightweight dutch oven as well (especially when hard anodised). Non stick, doesn’t rust, still distributes and holds heat really well, and about 1/3 of the weight.

      where I’m from, “dutch oven” doesn’t have anything to do with an actual oven

  Doesn’t most cheapo aluminum have iron mixed in to make it more affordable? I worked at a machine shop a couple of months and I remember the shitty castings downright having iron bubbles inside them

  If aluminum’s so great, why isn’t there any lithotrophs that use it?
