Aluminum is a metal refined from Aluminum Ore .

Usage

Aluminum has high thermal conductivity of 205, which is higher than Diamond and second only to Thermium . This makes it an ideal material for heat-conducting Metal Tiles, Tempshift Plates, and Radiant Liquid and Gas Pipes. However, with only half the melting point of Iron , it is not suitable for extremely high temperature environments.

As a Refined Metal, it can be used to build advanced Power systems, buildings, and Automation systems.

Exosuit Forge produces Atmo Suit with Aluminum and Reed Fiber:

300 kg Aluminum + 2 unit Reed Fiber = 1 unit Atmo Suit

Molecular Forge produces Fullerene from Aluminum, Graphite, and Sulfur:

5 kg Aluminum + 90 kg Graphite + 5 kg Sulfur = 100 kg Fullerene

Production

Metal Refinery produces Aluminum from Aluminum Ore with 100% efficiency:

100 kg Aluminum Ore = 100 kg Aluminum

Smooth Hatches eat Aluminum Ore and excrete Aluminum with 75% efficiency.

Rock Crusher produces Aluminum and Sand from Aluminum Ore:

100 kg Aluminum Ore = 50 kg Aluminum + 50 kg Sand
