On 23 February 1886, this inventor and engineer produced the first samples of aluminium<\/a> using a method he had developed to make aluminium production cheaper, thus becoming the first metal to achieve widespread use since the prehistoric discovery of the iron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His basic invention involved passing an electric current through a bath of alumina dissolved in cryolite; the newly formed aluminium accumulated at the bottom of the retort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 9 July 1886, Hall applied for his first patent. <\/a>This process was also discovered almost at the same time by the Frenchman Paul H\u00e9roult and has come to be known as the \u2018Hall-H\u00e9roult process\u2019. It succeeded in lowering the price of aluminium by a factor of 200, making it affordable for many practical uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When he could not get funding to continue his research, he moved to Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania, USA) where he contacted one of the best-known metallurgists of the time, Alfred Hunt. The two founded the Reduction Company of Pittsburgh, which opened the first large-scale aluminium production plants. It later became the Aluminum Company of America and then Alco. Hall was a major shareholder and became wealthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1900, the annual production of aluminium reached about 8,000 tons, and today more aluminium is produced than all other non-ferrous metals combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
