== Alloy Composition == The duralumin used in the Metallic Arts is ninety-six percent [[aluminum]], four percent [[copper]]. {{book ref\|mb2\|2}} == Allomantic Use == A duralumin [[Misting]] is known as a '''Duralumin Gnat'''. An Allomancer burning duralumin instantly uses up any metals being burned simultaneously, releasing an enormous burst of power from those metals. Duralumin itself is not completely consumed like metals it is burned in concert with, but it still continues to burn away at a steady rate.{{book ref\|woa\|5}}{{book ref\|woa\|8}} A Duralumin Gnat gains nothing from their powers.{{book ref\|aol\|part=ars}} The use of duralumin could seriously hurt a [[Allomancy\|Mistborn]]. While burning [[tin]], the Mistborn ~~could~~risks bebeing shocked by the sensory overload asand ~~well as become~~becoming temporarily numb, blind, and deaf. A [[Steel\|Push]] or [[Iron\|Pull]] could become so strong it can feel like the Mistborn is being torn apart.{{book ref\|mb2\|8}}{{book ref\|mb2\|11}} When using duralumin, Mistborn usually burn pewter along with tin/iron/steel to avoid injuries. When combined with emotional Allomancy, duralumin allows Allomancers to "break into" and gain control of Hemalurgic constructs such as kandra and koloss, even if they would not normally have enough raw power to do so.{{book ref\|mb2\|40}}{{book ref\|mb2\|54}} Duralumin could be used to gain a burst of power from other [[Investiture]], such as [[Surgebinding]].{{wob ref\|12135}} Burning duralumin whilst also [[Compounding]] any other metal does not gain anything other than time, and is quite dangerous due to the swift effects of the duralumin.{{wob ref\|5901}}▼ ▲Duralumin could potentially be used to gain a burst of power from other forms of [[Investiture]] as well, such as [[Surgebinding]].{{wob ref\|12135}} Burning duralumin ~~whilst~~while also [[Compounding]] any other metal does not gain anything other than time, and is quite dangerous due to the swift effects of the duralumin.{{wob ref\|5901}} == Feruchemical Use == == History == During the [[Final Empire]], the [[Lord Ruler]] kept [[aluminum]] and ~~it's~~its alloy duralumin from public knowledge to give the [[Inquisitors]] an advantage.{{wob ref\|8037}} ~~Another reason why aluminum~~Aluminum and duralumin were also unknown to people isdue ~~that~~to ~~refining aluminum requires~~the advanced technology of (electrolysis) required to refine it.
