Duraluminum was a type of low corrosion and low fatigue Aluminum developed for the aircraft industry.
It was in common use for years.
The material was supplanted by newer alloys but the name persisted until the current composites took over.
duralumin, copper is added to the aliminium to make duralumin
We use aluminium to make alloys. Alumina is a example.
Duralumin is an aluminum alloy that typically contains around 4% copper and small amounts of other metals such as magnesium and manganese. The combination of these metals gives duralumin its high strength and light weight characteristics, making it suitable for aerospace and automotive applications.
aluminium+hydrochloric acid= aluminium chloride+hydrogen :)
- aluminium is cheap- aluminium has a low density- aluminium is not easy corrodable- aluminium has convenable thermal and electrical coductivities
It is an alloy called duralumin which contains aluminium andd other metals and is lighter and stronger than aluminium.Read more about it on wikipidia

Because aluminium is not only cheaper but lighter. - Dave! Yognaut

The fatigue behavior of mild steel and duralumin differs primarily due to their material properties. Mild steel typically exhibits a lower fatigue strength compared to duralumin, which can withstand higher cyclic loads due to its higher yield strength and better fatigue resistance. Additionally, duralumin tends to show less plastic deformation before failure, making it more prone to sudden fracture under fatigue loading. Overall, duralumin's superior fatigue characteristics make it more suitable for applications requiring lightweight and high-strength materials.
