Q:I think the use of aluminum, at the lower levels, has really hurt US born players. To give a kid a piece of metal, and expect him to use wood when drafted........ I think US should go back to wood, whatever the costs (I know the aluminum is far cheaper). Thoughts....Cheers.

no, i have to disagree, wooden bats are extremly heavy for little league kids for one, and in high school its more enjoyable to see the ball sail with the metal bat, it might be a big adjustment, but if you wanna play in the bigs you wont let something like a wooden bat stand in the way =D

Q:a) Although Aluminium is a reactive metal, it is used to make door frames and window frames.b) Although Aluminium conducts heat, it is used to make blankets, which are good thermal insulators.

a] AL is used to make frames because it is light, not costly and strong.

Q:Is anodized aluminum suitable for indefinite salt-water exposure or will it rust? Also note that it would be used for the hull of a boat (more like a platform), and if it is not suitable could you suggest another metal?

Is Aluminium Rust Proof

Q:If this is true then how do I take my aluminums temperature without fear of breaking the themometer and get mercury all over it?

Yes, okorder /... But I would not be afraid of taking the temperature of Aluminum...just be careful not to break the thermometer and it will be fine. Now-a-days, most common thermometers don't use Mercury anymore....it has been replaced with a colored alcohol which allows for colder temperatures to be measured as well as eliminates the possibility of a toxic substance being released upon breakage.

Q:How do aluminum coils resist corrosion?

Aluminum coils are able to resist corrosion due to their unique chemical composition and protective oxide layer. Aluminum is a highly reactive metal, but it forms a thin layer of aluminum oxide on its surface when exposed to air. This oxide layer acts as a protective barrier, preventing further reaction with the environment. This layer is self-repairing and continues to form even when it gets damaged, providing long-lasting protection against corrosion. Additionally, aluminum coils can be further protected by applying coatings or treatments that enhance their resistance to corrosion. These coatings act as an additional layer of defense, shielding the coils from potential corrosive agents. Overall, the combination of the natural oxide layer and optional coatings makes aluminum coils highly resistant to corrosion, ensuring their durability and longevity in various applications.

Q:Why does the end face of aluminum coil have grease spots?

Process one without coolant to see whether there are spots. There is a layer of alumina membrane on the blank face of aluminum coil, which will react with basic coolant when heating through processing.

Q:I go on a trip once a year with a group of lets say 10 people, we go for 7 nights and consume on average approx 120 cans of beer each (throughout the week). We have a fire burning the whole time in a hole that we dig approx 1ft deep, then we dispose of each can in the fire and let them melt down never thinking about them again. That's approx 1,200 cans that melt in the one fire hole.Will the aluminum have an affect on the soil? does anyone know what sort of damage this can cause? and for what distance / area around the fire might be affected?The theory amongst the group is that cans do not hurt anything so that's why they take cans instead of glass.Thanks

Aluminum is very reactive in air and will form a layer of aluminum oxide around the outside of any piece. This oxide layer is very stable which is why aluminum doesn't corrode. Since your block of aluminum will be totally oxidized being in a fire, it's inert and just going to sit in the hole for the foreseeable future. The burning paint might not be healthy to breath but that's about the only hazard. Most common soil is a mixture of aluminum, carbon and silica compounds anyways so you aren't even adding anything particularly exotic. Alternatively, you could bring along a couple fifths of whiskey. It's lighter and has less packaging so it's the environmentally friendly way to get drunk.

Q:Do you have an aluminum coil first? Is there an aluminum plate?

Yes, all aluminium sheets are made of aluminium rolls after slitting.

Q:What is an aluminum coil?

An aluminum coil is a continuous strip or sheet of aluminum that is wound into a coil shape. It is typically used in various industries for its lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and malleable properties. The coil is produced through a process called continuous casting and rolling, where molten aluminum is poured into a caster and then rolled between large metal rollers to achieve the desired thickness and shape. Aluminum coils are commonly used in the manufacturing of automotive parts, building materials, electrical equipment, and packaging materials. They can be further processed into different forms, such as sheets, plates, or foils, depending on the specific application requirements.

Q:What is the minimum width of aluminum coils?

The minimum width of aluminum coils can vary depending on the specific requirements and manufacturing capabilities. However, in general, the minimum width of aluminum coils typically ranges from around 0.25 inches to 0.5 inches. It is important to note that specialized manufacturing processes may allow for even narrower widths, but these are less common and may come with additional costs or limitations. Additionally, the specific application and industry requirements will also play a role in determining the minimum width needed for aluminum coils.
