== History ==
During the [[Final Empire]], the [[Lord Ruler]] kept [[aluminum]] and it's alloy duralumin from public knowledge to give the [[Inquisitors]] an advantage.{{wob ref|
[[Vin]], having been fed aluminum by the Inquisitors, figured there should be an alloy for it, too.{{cite}} She tested out various alloys of aluminum despite the risk, and discovered only one alloy which doesn't cause sickness, but also generates no effect when burned. While sparring with [[Zane]], Vin was stunned to find out the effect of duralumin. She kept the secret to few and later this granted her a significant advantage.
== Trivia ==
* [[Wikipedia:Duralumin|Duralumin]] is a real alloy of aluminum, and is fairly common.{{wob ref|
