FAQ

5083 what is the density of the aluminum plate?

5083 aluminum alloy is Al-Mg-Si, use a wide range, especially in the construction industry cannot do without this alloy, alloy is the most promising. The main alloying elements as magnesium, has good forming performance, corrosion resistance, weldability, moderate intensity, is a kind of pure aluminum alloy aluminum density: 2.71 tons. / m3 (g / cm3) alloy aluminum density: 2.8 tons / m3 (g / cm3) antirust aluminum density: 2.73 tons / m3 (g / cm3)

If I were to make an aluminum mold and cover it with a release agent, could I cast aluminum into it? Or would the two parts fuse together? I'm trying to find an alternative to sand casting.Thank you!

Aluminum okorder /... I use investment lost wax casting.

Yes, aluminum sheets are generally considered easy to work with due to their lightweight nature, flexibility, and malleability. They can be easily cut, bent, shaped, and drilled, making them versatile for various applications in industries such as construction, automotive, and manufacturing.

I recently moved into a 1975 house with aluminum wiring. I will be going through and checking/replacing all receptacles and switches with CO/ALR rated ones as I don't have a budget right now to rewire the house. I am wondering if I should be checking all of the ceiling lights as well as some of them would be very difficult to access. Are lights as big a concern with aluminum connections as receptacles? I am sure some of the lights are newer and would have copper wire connected to the aluminum. Should I be concerned about the type of wire nuts used here?Anything else that I should be checking?

Connections at ceiling lights have far less potential for a problem, but a potential none the less. So, while you are at it, go ahead and check them. The antioxidant compound and al/cu listed wire nuts (marriets) are the correct and proper materials to use. I applaud you for having done your homework. After tightening each connector be sure to pull on each and every wire to ensure they are good and tight. When combining solid and stranded wire, slide the stranded past the solid about an 1/8 before capping. We in the trade use 9 lineman's pliers to twist all wires before capping them. An inexpensive pair (of Lineman's) can be had for under $20. A good pair of wire strippers (with built in screw cutters) can be had for about $15. I mention the screw cutter because there is a good chance that somewhere along the line you will find a location where the stock 7/8-1 screw bottoms out against something before it gets tight. If you force it it will strip out. Not to mention it might dig into the insulation on a wire resulting in a short. Screws in devices (receptacles, switches, dimmers etc.) are 6-32 and light fixtures are typically 8-32. I would also get a non-contact tester. A.k.a. inductive tester. Very handy at times. When you are sure the power is off to a box it might not be. On an occasion another hot will be present. The beep testers will quickly alert you to the presence of another live circuit. A multi-tester will allow you to identify wires should you fail to mark them before working on them. If you mark the location of each wire to a 3 or 4-way switch before replacing it you will save yourself a lot of time. Same with wires to any GFI receptacles. Swapping wires location to location may not be correct. Some have the Line terminals on one side, while most have them on the top. But I get the impression you have a bit of experience or a friend who does helping you with this.

Hello,Does it matter what kind of wheel I use as a cut off wheel on an angle grinder when cutting aluminum?Thanks!

Hello, If you are cutting aluminum you should use a metal cutting blade. A normal stone saw blade will not cut the metal safely. It will also be uneconomical. A metal cutting blade will cut much quicker than trying to force a stone blade through metal. It also matters because it can be dangerous cutting any metal with a blade that is not meant for cutting metal because the blade can become unstable and parts can come away from the blade. The cost of the cutting blades for both stone,brick,concrete etc and the cost of a metal blade will be somewhere similar in price so If i were you i would always look to buy a metal cutting blade rather than a general blade. Hope this helps.

There are several different grades of aluminum sheets available in the market, each with its own unique properties and uses. The most commonly used grades include 3003, 5052, and 6061. - Grade 3003: This is a non-heat treatable alloy that is highly resistant to corrosion. It is often used in applications where corrosion resistance is essential, such as in packaging, cooking utensils, and chemical equipment. - Grade 5052: This grade is also non-heat treatable and offers excellent corrosion resistance. It is known for its strength and durability, making it suitable for marine applications, transportation equipment, and architectural purposes. - Grade 6061: This is a heat treatable alloy that combines good corrosion resistance with high strength. It is widely used in structural applications, such as in aircraft components, automotive parts, and construction materials. Apart from these grades, there are also other specialized aluminum alloys available, such as 2024, 7075, and 5083, which offer specific properties for particular industries or applications. It is important to consider the specific requirements of your project before choosing a grade of aluminum sheet, as each grade has its own strengths and limitations. Consulting with a knowledgeable supplier or expert can help you determine the most suitable grade for your needs.

doesn't particularly need to be welding but i need to make an air tight permanent seal around 2 very thin sheets of aluminium (like .02 inches thick) i was thinking .02 inch 5052 aluminum because its the thinnest i can find but am obviously up for suggestions.

may not be practical for you but explosive welding is the best way for welding of metal sheets in high performance applications. wave of explosion produce enough heat and pressure to weld sheets

Indeed, reflective surfaces can be achieved with the use of aluminum sheet. Renowned for its exceptional reflectivity, aluminum is widely preferred for an array of applications that call for reflective surfaces. By skillfully polishing aluminum sheets, they can attain a remarkable luster, enabling them to reflect light and produce a mirror-like effect. Consequently, they prove to be the perfect choice for applications such as lighting fixture reflectors, solar panels, mirrors, and decorative purposes. Moreover, owing to its reflective properties, aluminum is an ideal material for situations necessitating heat reflection, including thermal insulation and roofing materials. In summary, aluminum sheets offer versatility and effectiveness when it comes to generating reflective surfaces.
