Steel, aluminium, plastics, reinforced plastics … pretty much any material that you can possibly imagine you would want to make a car, or a plane, or a boat, or a train out of.
Today – aluminium. Specifically a recycled grade of aluminium, that came out of old Jaguar Land Rover cars.

A burette (a long glass tube with a tap at the bottom used to measure liquids) when I was demonstrating in a first year lab last week. I was meant to be showing them how to set it up, and instead I dropped it!
That was an accident though. On purpose I’ll try to corrode metals, because my materials will eventually be used with a heat exchanger (like a metal grid), so it’s important to know which metals are unaffected by the materials I make.
