FAQ

Aluminum sheet can undergo various heat treatment methods, each serving a specific purpose and achieving desired outcomes. Some commonly used methods include the following: 1. Solution Heat Treatment: The aluminum sheet is heated to a specific temperature, typically ranging from 900-1000°F (480-540°C), and kept at that temperature for a designated duration. This process aids in dissolving any soluble alloying elements present in the aluminum, resulting in a more uniform structure. 2. Quenching: Following the solution heat treatment, the aluminum sheet is rapidly cooled by immersing it in water, oil, or air. This rapid cooling helps retain the desired microstructure and properties, such as increased strength and hardness. 3. Aging: After quenching, the aluminum sheet undergoes an aging process. It is heated to a lower temperature, typically between 250-450°F (120-230°C), and maintained at that temperature for a specific period. This allows for the precipitation of fine particles within the aluminum, further enhancing its strength and hardness. 4. Precipitation Hardening: This method is specifically employed for certain aluminum alloys, such as the 2000 and 7000 series, which respond well to precipitation hardening. It involves a combination of solution heat treatment, quenching, and aging, resulting in a highly strengthened and durable aluminum sheet. 5. Annealing: Annealing is a heat treatment process that aims to soften the aluminum sheet and relieve any internal stresses. The sheet is heated to a specific temperature, typically around 600-700°F (315-370°C), and then slowly cooled. This enhances the formability and machinability of the aluminum. 6. Stress Relieving: Similar to annealing, stress relieving is specifically used to reduce residual stresses in the aluminum sheet after fabrication. The sheet is heated to a temperature below its annealing temperature and then slowly cooled. The choice of heat treatment method for aluminum sheet depends on the desired properties, alloy composition, and intended application. Each method offers unique advantages and can significantly enhance the mechanical and physical properties of the aluminum sheet.
Can you really block thermal imaging with glass or aluminum foil? If not, what can?
Well, silly! That keeps the space aliens from getting to them! Their brain sucking devices can't penetrate aluminum foil. Seriously, though, it's a redneck attempt to block the direct sun and keep the room from heating up.
I saw a guy on ebay take a washed out paint can fill it full of lighted charcoal bricks and a tin can in the middle. He was melting aluminum cans in there then pured it into a mold. Does this really work and does anyone have any good ideas on how else to do this?
Aluminum alloys melt at around 1200 degrees, aluminum cans maybe somewhat lower, but I doubt a tin can would hold up long enough to melt much aluminum, and you would need to be very careful, any moisture in your mold will cause the aluminum to literally explode back into your face. I am not saying it couldn't be done, but you really would need lots of safety equipment before trying it.
What's the maximum size of 3 mm thick aluminum sheet?
See tolerance taggingIf there is no tolerance, see the accuracy level of the workpiece and check the tolerance listA 3-4 mm deviation is acceptable if the magnitude is not noted and is of no importanceThat is, the 3.5mm is OK, if the lower accuracy is generally 2.95
Yes, aluminum sheets can be used for roofing. Aluminum is a popular roofing material due to its durability, lightweight nature, and resistance to corrosion. It is commonly used in residential and commercial roofing applications.
Yes, aluminum sheets can be perforated for ventilation purposes. Perforating aluminum sheets involves creating small holes or patterns through the sheet to allow airflow and ventilation. This technique is commonly used in various industries such as construction, automotive, and manufacturing. Perforated aluminum sheets offer several benefits for ventilation purposes, including enhanced air circulation, temperature regulation, and moisture control. The size, shape, and pattern of the perforations can be customized to suit specific ventilation requirements. Additionally, perforated aluminum sheets are lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant, making them ideal for applications that require both ventilation and structural integrity.
I just bought a cheap brand of pop tarts. One of the listed ingredients under Leavening is, sodium aluminum. I don't think Wal-Mart will take back the box, so should I just throw the whole box of 16, away. Or is the proportion of aluminum in the product so minute, that it will not make a difference to my health? Thanks.
It's actually Sodium Aluminum Phosphate. It's used as a preservative in a lot of food actually. It's not exactly good for you, but it's really no more harmful than any other preservative. So basically, it's unhealthy, but you're not gonna die from eating them. EDIT: Yes I realize that Aluminum has been linked to Alzheimer's disease, but this isn't Aluminum. Aluminum is an element. This is Sodium Aluminum Phosphate. A completely different substance. When an element bonds with another element (or two) often its properties completely change. I think you'd be surprised to learn that Sodium by itself, is not only horribly volatile (it will explode in water) and will kill you if you ingested it. Iodine is also poisonous in fairly moderate doses. But when the two are bonded together (sodium iodide) it becomes an essential nutrient to the body.
What's the difference between laser cutting aluminum plate and stainless steel plate?
Aluminum plate reflectivity high, viscous strong, general 3mm above will hang slag, but very easy to peel off, stainless steel cutting ability and thickness and equipment power relationship more.
