Among the immense variety of ore available on Planet Earth, the most abundant metal is aluminum. This metal is used in various human activities and is present in many productive processes, since it is a lightweight, resistant and important material, as it does not suffer corrosion.
It is widely used in aircraft coatings, in the manufacture of gates and windows, in automobile wheels, in soft drinks cans and in various types of packaging. In addition, it has the ability to conduct heat and electricity, which makes it widely used in electroelectronic production.
In contrast to the abundance of aluminum, we have several rare metals on the planet, such as the Indian and the niobium, which are important for technological development and used in various electronic and digital devices, being very demanded by the world industry.
In this context, the world's rarest metal is antimony, which has China's monopoly and is listed among the endangered metals. Another curiosity is that 97% of all rare metals on the planet, such as the neodymium, the styb and the scheduling, are produced in China.
