Modern aluminum alloys seem
tough enough to take almost
anything. For instance, one
manufacturer uses aluminum
for those little electrically driven
cars the kids love to climb into
at carnivals and fairs. The idea
is to whirl around at high speed
exchanging spine-shattering
bumps with other “motorists”.
They actually stand up under
this treatment (the cars, we
mean). Our own Alcan research
ers are constantly developing
and testing new applications,
better products, improved
production techniques. There’s
always something new in alum
inum! Aluminum Company, of
