Duralumin is a type of aluminum alloy that is particularly known for its strength and lightweight properties. It was first developed in the early 20th century and is primarily made up of aluminum, with the addition of copper (usually around 4% to 5%), along with small amounts of other elements such as manganese, magnesium, and silicon. This combination of metals significantly enhances the mechanical properties of aluminum, making it much stronger than pure aluminum.
