FAQ

There exists a variety of aluminum sheets, each possessing distinct characteristics and applications. Here are some commonly encountered types: 1. The plain aluminum sheet, with its smooth surface and uniform thickness, serves as the fundamental option. It holds widespread usage across various industries for general purposes. 2. The embossed aluminum sheet, achieved by rolling the metal through a patterned roller, presents a textured or patterned surface. It finds common application in fields like interior design or automotive trim, where decorative purposes are desired. 3. The perforated aluminum sheet, as its name implies, contains small holes or perforations throughout its surface. It frequently finds application in architectural scenarios, such as building facades or sunscreens, as well as in filtration systems. 4. The treadplate aluminum sheet, also known as checker plate or diamond plate, exhibits a raised pattern of lines or diamonds on its surface. This pattern enhances traction, making it suitable for industrial flooring or stair treads, where slip resistance is vital. 5. The anodized aluminum sheet undergoes an electrochemical process, forming a protective oxide layer on the surface. This process enhances durability, corrosion resistance, and allows for color customization through dye acceptance. Architectural applications, signage, and consumer products commonly employ anodized aluminum sheets. 6. The painted aluminum sheet, coated with a layer of paint, not only enhances appearance but also provides added corrosion protection. It is often utilized in applications where aesthetics are paramount, such as building facades, signage, or automotive parts. These examples represent a small selection of the aluminum sheet types available in the market. The selection of an appropriate type depends on specific project requirements, encompassing factors like durability, appearance, corrosion resistance, or slip resistance.

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.

Yes, aluminum sheets are suitable for manufacturing architectural column covers.

I have heard that drinking from aluminum cans is bad for our health. However, I have learned that today's 'aluminum' cans are actually more like a plastic can due to all the coatings, etc. Do we really have any risks associated with regular cans?

Aluminum cans have a thin plastic lining. This lining prevents the leeching of aluminum into the liquid it contains. The big health scare over aluminum was over research done on Alzheimer's disease. Autopsies revealed a higher concentration of aluminum in the brain of some patients with Alzheimer's. It is unknown whether aluminum was a possible culprit, or the diseased tissue for some reason just held onto more aluminum. Further research has not been able to duplicate these results; autopsies of some patients show no increased levels of aluminum. [1], [2], [3], [4] Aluminum toxicity is rare and usually found in patients with renal failure. [5] The amount of aluminum you would be exposed to even if cans were not coated wouldn't cause you any harm.

i have a aluminum bicycle the first time i painted it i painted over the original paint(didnt know any better). The second time i sanded it down with some paint left on it. Now this time im sanding it but im using 60grit it looks good to me is 60 grit to much.

You screwed up. 60 grit should NEVER come in contact with aluminum... those scratches will never come out. NEVER have an aluminum frame sandblasted. You'll need to have it soda blasted or walnut shell blasted. You should be using 220 grit ALUMINUM OXIDE paper- it is white in color. My bet is that you are using garnet- the brown stuff, or maybe coated paper. You MUST use aluminum oxide. I have answered the question to paint a bike a hundred times. Just click on Discover and type in the words paint a bike without quotes. Theres your answer.

The electrical resistivity of aluminum sheets is approximately 2.65 × 10^-8 ohm·meter.

Chemical processing equipment should not employ 101 aluminum sheets due to their unsuitability. Although aluminum is a versatile and extensively utilized material, its use is not advisable when dealing with potent acids or bases. Aluminum is prone to corrosion when exposed to certain chemicals, jeopardizing the equipment's integrity and potentially causing leaks or other safety risks. Therefore, it is advisable to opt for materials explicitly engineered and produced to endure the corrosive impacts of the chemicals employed in chemical processing equipment.

Hi,I'm building a tricycle for 2 passengers as well as the rider.My main concern for the structure of the chassis is the junction between the rear and the bike frame. Both structures on their own withstand the weight when made out of aluminium, no need to go for steel. But what about that junction? Will aluminium have a propensity to buckle? should i used double tubing or a fork design? I suppose the shape and caliber of the tube also comes into play.Lastly, which of a tube or cylindrical rod is stronger?ThanksAddendum: I'm looking at aluminium because it's cheaper and for weight reduction in the vehicle.

You cannot weld steel to aluminum with traditional arc welding techniques. It can only be done with explosion or friction welding. I doubt either of these processes will be utilized on a trike frame as they would be cost prohibitive for low production runs. Are you an experienced aluminum welder, or will you be using one? If not, I'd suggest using steel tubing. Steel is much more forgiving during the welding process. It is stronger too; although on the downside, it is heavier. As for your design, it is very difficult to follow your description without a picture. I would be remiss to suggest something with my current, limited understanding. As far as tubing and solid rod are concerned, for the same weight, the tubing will be stronger because it has its mass located away from the center. This will give it much more structural rigidity to resist bending. Now solid rod of the same diameter is stronger than tube, but very heavy. I would think you should be able to use tubing for everything. Maybe thicker or even larger tubes for the areas of high stress concentration such as the area you ask about. If you go with the aluminum, good luck welding it. While it certainly can be done, it takes a great deal more experienced of a welder to perform this operation successfully.
