About
Aluminum is a lightweight, silvery metal that weighs only about one-third as much as the same volume of steel.
Aluminum has a density of about 169 pounds per cubic foot (2.7 grams per milliliter). It takes up the exact same amount of space as steel or iron while providing roughly one-third of the weight. Because of this low density, large sheets and blocks of aluminum feel surprisingly light to hold compared to most other metals.
From Wikipedia
