The unique combinations of properties provided by aluminum and its alloys make aluminum one of the most versatile, economical, and attractive metallic materials for a broad range of uses from soft, highly ductile wrapping foil to the most demanding engineering applications. Aluminum alloys are second only to steels in use as structural metals. In last decade there has been a rapid increase in the utilization of aluminum generally designed for low weight and low costs, which yields the use of hydrodynamic journal bearing in a large number alloy in automobile industries due to high specific strength, high wear resistance, low density, and low coefficient of thermal expansion.
