Aluminium (or "aluminum" in North America) is a common and soft white-colored metal with applications in rocketry, missile manufacturing, mirrored surface finishes, and in its powdered form for thermite and various other useful products. Occurs naturally in the world in the form of native ore and in vast deposits in the form of bauxite which requires minor processing to extract aluminium from.
Production

Can be produced by smelting aluminium ore or made by smelting bauxite in a combination furnace, yielding two ingots of aluminium for each piece of bauxite along with a byproduct of red mud which can be processed to yield iron and mercury.

- Heliostat mirrors for the solar boiler.
- Lightweight yet durable bodies for rockets and missiles.
- Nuclear explosive housing and detonation equipment.
- Fluid ducts and various fluid transportation devices.
Trivia
- In reality, aluminium is rarely if ever found in its native form with the vast majority of worldwide aluminium production coming from of refinement of bauxite.
- Bauxite refining takes complicated electrical machinery in order to process into aluminium, making the simple combination furnace recipe quite inaccurate, but convenient.
