FAQ

i want to a material which is similar in properties like aluminium which has similar casting properties and easily available.
It depends on what properties you are interested in. If you want specific answers, you need to ask specific questions. The previous answerers are not very well informed... There are, in fact, many excellent Al based casting alloys. And... cast alloys of brass, pot metal, lead, etc are not very similar to Al (but, again, it depends on specifically what properties you want). Consult your friendly neighborhood metallurgist but think about exactly what characteristics you need to have. The more completely you can define your requirements, the better someone can advise you on the pros and cons of different material selections.
heating can affect aluminium
This is science so, if you want specific answers, you must ask specific questions. What type of aluminum are you interested in? What characteristics are important to you? What kind of factors are you talking about? You are right that heating can affect Al. In fact, heating affects, basically, everything, every material we know of and every physical and chemical process that we do and every process that happens in nature. Temperature is important in all of these. There are more than a hundred different commercial aluminum alloys and most of them are available in a variety of different tempers (heat treated conditions). The heat treatment of commercial Al alloys is a very important thing. If you want more specific information, consult your friendly neighborhood metallurgist.
Class A flammability ratings are typically assigned to aluminum sheets. This rating indicates that they possess a strong resistance to fire and are unlikely to ignite or facilitate the spread of flames. Aluminum is classified as a non-combustible substance, which is why it is widely favored in industries like construction, transportation, and aerospace, where fire safety is a priority. Additionally, its elevated melting point and exceptional heat dissipation qualities further contribute to its ability to withstand fire.
Aluminum sheets usually exhibit an electrical resistivity within the range of 2.65 to 2.82 micro-ohm centimeters. Nevertheless, it should be emphasized that the precise resistivity is subject to variation based on factors such as the alloy composition, thickness, temperature, and other considerations.
i need to know these things please....can aluminium withstand the forces of being in a cargo hold on a air freight, can it withstand extreme temps and to what extent an is it microwavable?? please help me
No metals are microwavable, they will ruin any microwave oven by producing sparks. Even ceramic plates with a little metallic paint eg of silver will spark. Aluminium on its own has little strength but when mixed with small amounts of eg copper or manganese it aquires great strength while remaining light. In addition it has the advantage of being very resistant to oxidation and corrosion. It is certainly used extensively in aircraft construction. Due to being non toxic it used to make cans for beers, soft drinks (sodas) etc However it doesn't stand up well to high temperatures, its melting point is just at 660 degrees celsius, by comparison for iron it is 1540 and tungsten 3420.
My frame snapped and I want to fix it by welding it back together. In order to do that, I need to know what all is in the aluminum.
You can NOT weld back an aluminum frame unless you have the facilities to anneal and heat treat the frame again. Rewelding without the post treatments will result in a very soft area around the new weld causing sudden catastrophic failure... this means if you are riding it could fail at any time causing injury or death. EDIT: Wait just a durn minute. The 2100 and 2300 had carbon fiber tubes bonded to aluminum lugs and stays. If your bike failed then you ABSOLUTELY should not try to weld it. The heat from welding (even if you had post treatment facilities) would destroy the bond between the CF and aluminum. Fair warning- cut the frame apart and throw it away.
The fire rating of 101 aluminum sheets is typically dependent on the particular alloy and thickness of the sheets. Due to its low melting point of 660 degrees Celsius (1220 degrees Fahrenheit), aluminum has the potential to deform or melt when exposed to intense heat. Nevertheless, it is important to highlight that aluminum is not flammable and does not aid in the propagation of fire. Fire resistance can be improved by applying fire-resistant coatings or by incorporating it with other fire-resistant substances. In conclusion, it is crucial to seek advice from manufacturers or industry professionals to ascertain the fire rating of specific 101 aluminum sheets.
I saw some pretty horrific pictures today of bow shooters with their hands impale by pieces of a carbon arrow that broke after being shot. I'm about to get into the archery sport, and I just want to know before I buy my arrows, will it be safer to buy aluminum shaft arrows instead of carbon? People said aluminum ones aren't as strong, but right now I'm more concern with the safety factor. Yes, I do know that I'm suppose to always check carbon arrows for cracks before I shoot them, but we're all human and sometimes people will forget and make mistakes. I just don't want my hand embedded with carbon shrapnel. So should I get carbon or aluminum? Maybe the new full metal jacket ones will be a good compromise?As a side note, my first bow will be a recurve somewhere around the 30-35 lb draw range. Does the power of the bow affect the chances of an arrow breakage?
