Aluminum is used in a lot of products

Mostly because aluminum is (or at least used to be) lower cost due to the abundance of raw material, the ease of production due to cheap/abundant electrical energy supplies and the low weight without excessive loss of structural strength.

All of those calculations are now garbage. (Except for the strength to weight thing...)

JMHO the old Mason jar is rapidly becoming the Very Best long term storage container.

(And that's coming from someone made our family's daily bread for years working on aluminum containers.)
