FAQ

The weight of a standard aluminum sheet can vary depending on its thickness, dimensions, and grade. On average, a standard aluminum sheet weighs around 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).
The typical modulus of elasticity for aluminum sheets is around 70 GPa (gigapascals) or 10 million psi (pounds per square inch). However, it is important to note that the modulus of elasticity can vary depending on the specific alloy and temper of the aluminum sheet.
Aluminum sheets are known for their excellent machinability. They can be easily cut, drilled, and shaped using various machining processes. The softness and low melting point of aluminum make it highly conducive to machining operations. Additionally, aluminum sheets exhibit good chip formation and evacuation, resulting in smooth and efficient machining.
my grandpa gave me a family harloom, a 1971 Honda Trail 90, after it sat in a shed for a good 30 years. i have got most everything in tip top shape except for the polished aluminum has become lightly tarnished. and because i am a perfectionist
The aluminum has a clear coat on it, get some aircraft stripper (in a spray can) from your auto parts store o take that off, then get a buffing wheel and some brown Tripoli and you can get it looking like new, switch to rouge and yo can get it looking like chrome. you will need to put clear coat back on it or keep it clean and waxed or it will tarnish again.
I need to coat a piece of aluminum with aluminum oxide. Can I do it by just attaching aluminum to an electrode and put it into some water with the other electrode? I know you can make iron oxide that way, but will aluminum work? If it will work, which electrode should I put the aluminum on?
it is called hard anodization a lot of machine shops can do it - I think there is a certain soup to put it in The Al would be the anode
Does it make any difference shiny side up, shiny side down when it comes to cooking with aluminum foil?
With the shinny side up the heat is reflected away from the contents. With the Dull side out the heat is greater inside the pouch.
Yes, aluminum sheets are suitable for use in cryogenic environments. Aluminum has excellent thermal conductivity and low density, making it an ideal material for cryogenic applications. It can withstand extremely low temperatures without losing its structural integrity or experiencing significant thermal expansion. Additionally, aluminum has good corrosion resistance and can be easily fabricated into various shapes and sizes. These properties make aluminum sheets commonly used in cryogenic systems, such as cryostats, superconducting magnets, and liquid nitrogen storage tanks.
Generally, aluminum sheets exhibit resistance to corrosion from saltwater. When exposed to air or water, including saltwater, aluminum naturally develops a protective oxide layer. This layer serves as a barrier, preventing additional corrosion and safeguarding the underlying metal. Furthermore, aluminum is both lightweight and durable, making it a favored choice for numerous marine applications such as boats, shipbuilding, and offshore structures. Nevertheless, it is important to acknowledge that the level of resistance to saltwater corrosion may differ based on the specific alloy and surface treatment of the aluminum sheets. Consequently, selecting the appropriate alloy and applying protective coatings can further enhance the corrosion resistance of aluminum sheets in saltwater environments.
