Why aluminum is used in beverage cans?

The typical aluminum alloy in the sides of a beverage can incorporates by weight 1 percent magnesium, 1 percent manganese, 0.4 percent iron, 0.2 percent silicon, and 0.15 percent copper. To increase the lid's strength, manufacturers reduce the amount of manganese in the aluminum alloy, while increasing the amount of magnesium. The magnesium content can reach a full 2 percent of the alloy's weight, with the manganese content being reduced to a trace. While this shift in alloy content makes the lid stronger, it also makes it significantly heavier. For the bottom part, we stick with the alloy we've used for the sides and have a concave shape.
