Another disputed example, is the case of U. S. v. Aluminum Co. of America ( Alcoa ) in 1945.

Aluminum is less costly than tin-plated steel but offers the same resistance to corrosion in addition to greater malleability, resulting in ease of manufacture ; this gave rise to the two-piece can, where all but the top of the can is simply stamped out of a single piece of aluminium, rather than laboriously constructed from two pieces of steel.

Aluminum drums are also lighter than iron drums, which reduces unsprung weight.

Aluminum has also been suggested as a possible identity for Mithril.
