Why does household aluminium foil have one dull side and one shiny side? Posted by: ircasodle - 04-28-2018, 07:52 AM - Forum: aluminium faq - Replies (2) SO THAT the shiny side can reflect the heat on to the item to be cooked, using a long-established scientific principle that shiny surfaces reflect heat and light. What has completely mystified me for years, though, is the fact that 99.9 per cent of people I have come across use aluminium foil the wrong way round - with the shiny side outside - thereby reflecting heat away from what they are trying to cook.   Why does aluminum foil not get hot when it is in a hot oven? Posted by: ircasodle - 04-28-2018, 07:48 AM - Forum: aluminium faq - Replies (3) Actually, it does get hot. In fact, if you wrap a potato in aluminum foil and put it in a hot over, the foil will get hot first. This is because metals like aluminum are very good conductors of heat, so they absorb heat very quickly. When you pull out the potato, the same property of being a good heat conductor makes sure that the foil cools down very fast.   How to Harden Aluminum Foil Posted by: ircasodle - 04-28-2018, 07:12 AM - Forum: aluminium faq - No Replies There may be several reasons why you would want to harden aluminum foil. A sculpture made of aluminum foil can be fragile and you may wish to make it more substantial to last longer. Aluminum foil can also be used as an exterior cover for pipe insulation. Heating and cooling pipes are wrapped with insulation to eliminate condensation and to provide a more consistent internal temperature. Aluminum foil is a very good insulator. [img=600x0]http://www.aluminiumstrip-hm.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Foil2.jpg[/img]How to Harden Aluminum Foil … Aluminum foil makes a very good insulator. Step 1 Apply multiple layers of aluminum foil to harden it and give it strength. Some applications lend themselves to layering with aluminum foil and some do not. For those that do, it is a very good option. Step 2 Brush resin onto the surface of the aluminum foil using a small paint brush. Make sure you cover the entire surface with the resin. Apply several thin coats of resin and let each one dry for at least 12 hours before applying the next one. Step 3 Cover the foil with pipe plaster using a small paint brush to apply the material. Pipe plaster is a good option for foil used to insulate pipes, but can also work for an aluminum sculpture if it is being painted or you don’t want the foil to show. Step 4 Spray the foil with spray paint to give it more structure and visual appeal.   Why Is Aluminum Foil a Better Insulator Than Cotton or Paper? Posted by: ircasodle - 04-28-2018, 07:02 AM - Forum: aluminium faq - No Replies Adding insulation to your home is an easy way to save on energy costs. Aluminum foil, also called tin foil, makes an excellent insulator, and in some situations, it works better than materials like cotton or paper. Aluminum foil is not best for every situation, though, so using it correctly is an important part of saving energy. ... Cover a window with aluminum foil to keep sunlight out. Identification Simply sheets of pliable aluminum that are less than 0.2 mm thick, aluminum foil has several household uses. Some companies manufacture long, stronger strips specifically for insulation, but you can also use typical aluminum foil to insulate. If the foil is particularly thin, companies will sometimes laminate it with plastic, paper or other materials to make it stronger. Benefits Because aluminum foil reflects light, it can be used for insulation, especially in areas that need to be guarded against heat. When it is used with other materials, it can be used to warm an area, too. Other materials such as paper and cotton, do not have the reflectivity that aluminum foil does, so when the sun is bearing down, they will not keep it out as well. An area that is already hot will be kept hot by aluminum foil, as it will hold in hot air. Paper and cotton will release heat at a quicker rate than aluminum foil. Aluminum foil can keep things like wires or pipes insulated, as it traps air when it is wrapped around an object. This can be achieved with several objects, though, and not just aluminum foil. Using Aluminum Foil Insulating a room in the summertime with aluminum foil can help keep sunlight out of the room and lower temperatures. Completely cover all windows with aluminum foil and secure it with a heavy-duty tape such as duct tape. The shiny surface will reflect the sunlight's rays. You can also insulate cold food when it will be near the sun. Wrapping a cold soda can, for instance, with aluminum foil will keep it chilled. Adding a layer of bubble wrap between the aluminum foil and soda can will keep it cooler for longer. Considerations If you would like to insulate something in a dark place, such as lunch box, another material such as cotton or paper could work just as well as aluminum foil. As a matter of fact, cotton is regularly used for insulation, as it is environmentally friendly. Because aluminum foil reflects light, when it is in a dark place, there is no light for it to reflect, so it will work similarly to other materials.   Advantages of aluminum alloy in electrical appliances Posted by: ircasodle - 04-27-2018, 07:46 AM - Forum: Knowledge & Technique - No Replies Aluminum alloy plate is widely used in the household appliances, such as refrigerators, microwave ovens, audio equipment, washing machine cylinders, kitchen utensils – such as water tanks, etc. So, what are the advantages of aluminum plates so that it can be widely used? [img=300x0]http://www.aluminiumstrip-hm.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/aluminum_plate-14-300x224.jpg[/img] 1, low density The density of aluminum and aluminum alloy is close to 2.7g/cm3, which is about 1/3 of that of iron or copper. Aluminum and aluminum alloys have high strength. After a certain degree of cold processing can strengthen the matrix strength, some of the aluminum alloys can also be strengthened by heat treatment. 2, good electrical and thermal conductivity aluminum alloy price The conductive and thermal conductivity of aluminum is second only to silver, copper and gold. 3, uniform coating, color diversity The advanced electrostatic spraying technology makes the paint adhere to thealuminum plate uniformly, with various colors and large selection space. 4, easy processing After a certain amount of alloying elements are added, cast aluminum alloys with good casting properties or deformed aluminum alloys with good plasticity can be obtained. The aluminum plates have light weight, high tensile strength, good extension performance, and high recovery salvage value. Good craftsmanship, using the first process after the painting process, aluminum plate can be processed into plane, arc and spherical and other complex geometric shapes. Thealuminum sheet is formed in the factory and the production can be processed directly without secondary cutting. 5, good corrosion resistance The surface of aluminum easily produces a layer of dense and strong AL2O3 protective film, which can well protect the substrate from corrosion. Through anodizing and coloring by hand, cast aluminum alloys with good casting properties or deformed aluminum alloys with good plasticity can be obtained. With kynar-500, hylur500-based pvdf fluorocarbon paint up to 25 years without leg color.   How can I cut out 3 circles of 1/8" Aluminum circle Posted by: 1-LVDCPN - 04-27-2018, 02:40 AM - Forum: aluminium faq - Replies (1) Hello Everyone, I could use your help. I need to cut out 3 circles of 1/8" Aluminum. They are 7-1/2" diam. with a 2" hole in the center and a 4 or 6 hole bolt circle at 6-1/2". I have tried using a Scroll saw with Aluminum blades as well as other types of blades. They just snap. I'm feeding it about a 1/16" a min. (very slow). I have adjusted the tension without luck. My lathe won't swing that large. All I have at my disposal is a bench belt sander, 8" bench top drill press & Aluminum circle I can't afford to have it done. I need to come up with a way to get them cut myself. The parts are 7-1/2 square to start with. If I could figure out a way to cut the corners off I could use the belt sander to get it round. I thought about putting an end mill in the drill press and using a pin to rotate the part on. But I'm a little leery about doing that. The parts will have a 2" hole in them all said and done. I guess I could cut the corners off with a hack saw a little at a time until it is roughed out. But if someone has a better idea I'm all ears.  Thank you,   how to find the best aluminum plate suppliers Posted by: 1-LVDCPN - 04-26-2018, 09:59 AM - Forum: aluminium faq - No Replies In today’s society, the competition between the aluminum plate enterprises turned into the competition between aluminum plate suppliers chain gradually.
