Yes. But not very.
The three categories of matter represented by rock salt, hard plastic, and aluminum foil are: ionic compound (rock salt), polymer (hard plastic), and metal (aluminum foil). Each material falls into a different classification based on its chemical composition and properties.
Aluminum is a relatively soft metal compared to others like steel or titanium. Its hardness can be increased through alloying or heat treatment processes to improve its strength and durability for specific applications. Pure aluminum has a Mohs hardness of 2.5-3, which means it is easily scratched by harder materials.
Brass is harder than some metals like aluminum and copper, but not as hard as others like steel or titanium.
The most common material used for hard drive platters is a type of metal called aluminum.
Hard disk platters are commonly made of a magnetic material called cobalt alloy or aluminum alloy.
It's hard because of the chemicals that are inside of it. Though aluminum foil is not so hard it's still made out of aluminum.
Aluminum is not as hard as some other metals, such as steel or titanium. It is relatively soft and lightweight compared to these metals.
It is hard to tell where she purchased the aluminum enclosures that she is using, but you can purchase aluminum enclosures from http://www.rselectronics.com/seo/aluminum_enclosures.aspx This website has lots of different aluminum enclosures to choose from.
Put your aluminum on a steel backer, an anvil works good, and don't hit very hard.
Manufacturers found that aluminum can be anodized to make it stronger, slicker, more durable, and non-reactive with foods. This applies to many types of cookware, including Circulon and Calphalon.Calphalon, a maker of anodized aluminum cookware explains it this way:"Hard-anodization is an electro-chemical process that hardens aluminum. (Hard-Anodized aluminum is 30% harder than stainless steel.) During hard-anodization, aluminum is submerged in an acid bath, then subjected to electrical charges. The result is a chemical reaction wherein the surface of the aluminum combines with oxygen to become aluminum oxide. This reaction is also known as oxidation, a process which occurs spontaneously in nature. Hard-anodization is actually controlled, accelerated oxidation.

Pretty soft. Hardness is around 2.5 to 3, depending on the aluminum alloy.

The metal that is the outside casing on a hard drive is made up of aluminum.
Aluminum....thats not that hard it is metal so it goes further where wood absorbs the force.
Pure aluminum can be hardened by a technique known by several names: work hardening, strain hardening, cold working or cold forming. Usually, if aluminum is going to be used in a situation where wear is present, an aluminum alloy will be used in preference to pure aluminum.
