Aluminum is a sought after resource in Fallout 76. There are several ideal aluminum vein locations in the game, where you can directly harvest the resource. However, you can also find a variety of junk items that you can break down to turn into aluminum. Junk items are a bit more random to locate, but being able to point out what items are can be beneficial.

Aluminum Locations

Visit any of these locations to start harvesting any of the aluminum veins. These locations should have a vein you can find nearby, and many of them are scattered to different corners of the map. Your best bet is to rotate between them by using fast travel points at each of the hot spots. After collecting as many as you can, shut down Fallout 76, start the application over, and load into another server to do it again. You can repeat this process as many times as you wish.
