FAQ

My new home has a mix of copper and aluminum wiring. My mother used a shop vac in one of the recepticles last week and blew two of them in my bedroom. Then this weekend my brother was replacing my exhaust fan in the bathroom and that proceeded to blow the entire bedroom and bathroom including ceiling fans, lights and all recepticles. Does anyone have any ideas?

It is very common in older homes to have tin coated copper wiring which many people then think they have aluminum wiring. If you have a piece of the older wiring or can turn the breaker off to one of these wires use a screw driver to scrape at the wire on the bare end; if it's tin coated copper you will see the orange/rust color of copper after a few light scrapes, the scaping is nothing agressive. This will determine if you have aluminum or not. Someone else mentioned about a loose connection which if a copper wire aluminum wire are connected together it would very likely fail creating a short. The two different materials expand contract at different rates which creates a bad connection. There is a special crimp process that can be done to join the two but a electrician should definately do this. A lot of the older homes just have two many items all on one breaker. With what you've described I would suggest using a electrician. Additional: If no breakers are tripped off and you do not have power in some areas you might have another panel (sub-panel) somewhere else in the home OR this circuit is hooked up to a GFI outlet somewhere else such as the kitchen, bathroom or garage. I would physically re-check each breaker and then hunt for a GFI outlet and sub-panel.

Yes, aluminum sheets are commonly used in the aerospace industry. Aluminum has several properties that make it an ideal material for aerospace applications. Firstly, it is lightweight, which is crucial for aircraft and spacecraft as it helps reduce fuel consumption and increase payload capacity. Secondly, aluminum has excellent strength-to-weight ratio, providing the necessary structural integrity for aerospace components. Additionally, aluminum is highly corrosion-resistant, ensuring durability and longevity in harsh environments. It also has good thermal conductivity, making it suitable for heat dissipation in aerospace systems. Furthermore, aluminum is easily formable, allowing for complex shapes and structures to be manufactured. Overall, the versatility, strength, lightness, and corrosion resistance of aluminum make it a preferred material in the aerospace industry for various applications such as aircraft frames, fuselage panels, wings, and engine components.

Dear all, i'm having crack problem with bending aluminium sheet metal, anyone know than which type(Model) of aluminium sheet metal is suitable for bending, Thanks.

All aluminum can be bent if u have the right equipment. I have no idea what you are using it for, so I can't give you specific advice. But, go with the lightest gauge aluminum that fits your purpose. The higher the gauge number, the thinner the aluminum is. 16 gauge aluminum is 1/16 thick, for example, but 18 gauge is thinner. Also, the temper of the material affects how easy it is to bend. 6063 aluminum is more malleable (easier to bend) than 6061.

Yes, there are potential health risks associated with using aluminum sheets. Aluminum is a neurotoxic metal that can accumulate in the body over time. Prolonged exposure to high levels of aluminum has been linked to several health issues, including respiratory problems, bone disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. Additionally, certain studies suggest a possible link between aluminum exposure and an increased risk of developing breast cancer. It is important to take precautions when working with aluminum sheets and minimize exposure to the metal.

Yes, aluminum sheet can withstand heavy loads. Aluminum is known for its high strength-to-weight ratio, making it an excellent choice for applications that require durability and load-bearing capabilities. Aluminum sheets are commonly used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, construction, and marine, where heavy loads are involved. Additionally, aluminum's inherent corrosion resistance further enhances its ability to withstand heavy loads over extended periods. However, it is important to consider the specific grade and thickness of the aluminum sheet, as different alloys and thicknesses have varying load capacities.

Yesterday I picked up an 1988 performance bike. I bought it for the parts. It rode really good and now I'm deciding to keep it as is but I'm wondering if the bike is safe to ride. I've hear of aluminum horror stories and I'm assuming old aluminum isn't asnymore safe.Should I toss the frame and put the parts on a steel frame I have or ride it and not worry about it failing.

Aluminum frames can last a really long time. But it depends more on how they were ridden and what kind of conditions they have seen than age. For example, I would never by a frame from a current bike racer even if it's only a year or two old. That frames seen a lot of stress and been put through a lot. Now a frame that my dad has had in the garage for the last 10 years hardly ridden, it's still practically new. That's a different story. I would recommend taking it to a local bike shop and having them look it over. This will actually achieve two things. 1. It'll let you know what kind of condition the frame is in. And 2. It'll help you build a relationship with your local shop and community. Keep in mind, that some shops aren't worth going to because they'll hassle you and tell you it's too old and you need new this and that. While some or all of that might be true, how they tell you will clue you into how they treat their customers. I've worked in the cycling industry for 10+ years and I can tell you that the condition of the frame is a case by case scenario. As such, you should have someone with some experience look it over.

Aluminium saucepans and frypans demonstrate that Al conducts heat, aluminium wires are used because it is a very good conductor of electricity, but lighter and cheaper than copper, so used on overhead cables. Most lay-people would describe Al as non-magnetic. However, Al is weakly paramagnetic. It does not hold a magnetic field, but does respond to a (strong) magnetic field, albeit weakly. The effect is strongest at low temperatures, and decreases as temp increases.

Indeed, specific fire resistance properties are possessed by a total of 101 aluminum sheets. With a melting point of 660 degrees Celsius (1220 degrees Fahrenheit), aluminum can endure high temperatures before the onset of melting. Furthermore, due to its low combustion point, aluminum does not easily ignite. In the event of a fire, the aluminum sheets serve as a barrier that hinders the spread of flames. Furthermore, the burning of aluminum results in the formation of a protective oxide layer on its surface, which effectively impedes the advancement of the fire. Nevertheless, it is important to acknowledge that although aluminum exhibits fire-resistant characteristics, it is not entirely impervious to fire and can still suffer damage or deformation when subjected to intense heat.
