Actually, that is alumina, not aluminum.

Someday may already be here. Are you familiar with Vasco-Max 350? Dreadfully good stuff.

Doesn't fly a kite for me, but for some it must. says it is deformed ?!

Refractory metal.

Alumina is the basic ore. I'm speaking of far more exotic material that was manufactured and designed by Sandia Labs. Throw a switch and it the large sheet is now clear as glass - throw it in reverse and it is opaque. Not Alumina:

Any of several forms of aluminum oxide, Al2O3, occurring naturally as corundum, in a hydrated form in bauxite, and with various impurities as ruby, sapphire, and emery, used in aluminum production and in abrasives, refractories, ceramics, and electrical insulation. Also called aluminum oxide.

Work hardened, I would guess...

Nonetheless, one of the strongest metals listed on MatWeb!
