Lightweight and Material designed Music Player

Lightweight and Material designed Music Player of the 18th and 19th centuries, the basic materials of construction were sparse. There was wood,

stone, brick and mortar, and iron and steel. However, the irons and steels

of that day were vastly inferior to the ones used today. In 1709, Abraham

Darby established a coke-fired blast furnace to produce cast iron, and

by the end of the 18th century, cast iron began to replace wrought iron,

because it was cheaper. The ensuing availability of inexpensive iron was

one of the factors leading to the Industrial Revolution. In the late 1850s,

Henry Bessemer invented a new steelmaking process, involving blowing

air through molten pig iron, to produce mild steel. This made steel much

more economical.

With the advent of the 20th century, improved lightweight materials such

as aluminum, magnesium, beryllium, titanium, titanium aluminides, engineering plastics, structural ceramics, and composites with polymer, metal,

and ceramic matrices began to appear.

Aluminum. Before the Hall-Héroult process was developed in the late

1880s, aluminum was exceedingly difficult to extract from its various

ores. This made pure aluminum more valuable than gold. Napoleon III,

Emperor of France, is reputed to have given a banquet where the most honored guests were given aluminum utensils, while the others made do with

gold. Charles Martin Hall of Ohio in the United States and Paul Héroult of

France independently developed the Hall-Héroult electrolytic process that

made extracting aluminum from minerals cheaper and is now the principal

method used worldwide. In 1888, Hall founded the Pittsburgh Reduction

Company, today known as Alcoa.

The next breakthrough in aluminum came in 1901 when Alfred Wilm,

while working in a military research center in Germany, accidentally discovered age hardening, in particular age hardening of aluminum alloys.
