FAQ

(given the fact that specific gravity of aluminum is 2.7)1. What is its volume?2. The ingot is suspended from a rope and totally immersed in water. What is the tension in the rope (the apparent weight of the ingot in water)?

first find the volume of your aluminium. youll need this when analyzing the bouant force F(b). the sg of aluminum is 2.7 and the density of water is 1000 kg/m^3 so the density of aluminum is 2.7x1000=2700kg/m^3. the mass is 71N/g = 7.237512742 kg. so volume of our piece of aluminum = mass/density = 0.0026805603 m^3 now analyze the forces being applied to the system. There are three, the force of gravity F(g), the buoyant force F(b) and the tension T. Tension and buoyant force push up, gravity pulls down. the system will be at rest since the rope is holding it at rest. so T + F(b) - F(g) = 0 T + (Volume aluminum X density water X g) - (MAss of aluminum x g) = 0 T + (0.0026805603x1000x9.81) - (71 N (given in problem)) = 0 Solving for T, T = 44.70370346 N = 45 N using sig figs.

There are several different types of alloys that are commonly used for painted aluminum sheets. One of the most popular alloys is 3003, which is known for its excellent corrosion resistance and high formability. This alloy is often used for applications where a smooth surface finish is desired, such as in the automotive industry. Another commonly used alloy is 5052, which offers a higher strength compared to 3003. This alloy is often used in marine and architectural applications due to its excellent corrosion resistance and ability to withstand harsh environments. It is also known for its good weldability and formability. Additionally, 6061 is a popular alloy choice for painted aluminum sheets. This alloy is known for its high strength and excellent machinability. It is often used in structural applications, such as in the manufacturing of aircraft parts and automotive components. Other alloys that are sometimes used for painted aluminum sheets include 2024, 5754, and 7075. These alloys offer specific properties that make them suitable for certain applications, such as high strength or improved corrosion resistance. Overall, the choice of alloy for painted aluminum sheets depends on the specific requirements of the application, such as the desired strength, corrosion resistance, and formability.

The only materials i can use is iodine, water, HCl, magnet, and pH paper. How do you identify aluminum with that?

To start with, are you refering to aluminum as metal, an aluminum compound, or a solution with aluminum present as ions? If it is metaallic aluminum, it won't stick to a magnet, and it will react with HCl, however this isn't sufficient to definately say it is aluminum, it would be better to get a density, melting point, etc.

I've had a Champion bass boat forever, but today I bought an aluminum G3 boat that was so cheap I couldn't pass it up. The G3 is aluminum. What are the pros and cons?

In general terms, you will get a smoother, quieter better ride from the fiberglass than the aluminum. The fiberglass is heavier and will ride a little deeper in the water. Obviuosly, the aluminum will bounce off rocks better than the glass, but we usually try to avoid those situations. Also, resale will most likely be better on the good glass boats.

Indeed, automotive applications can make use of aluminum sheets. Being a lightweight material with a high strength-to-weight ratio, aluminum proves to be an excellent choice for the automotive industry. Its attributes lend themselves well to this industry, offering numerous benefits such as enhanced fuel efficiency, improved handling, and increased performance. Furthermore, aluminum's resistance to corrosion is advantageous for automotive applications, as it contributes to the longevity of vehicles. Furthermore, aluminum sheets possess the ability to be easily shaped and molded into various forms, which grants automotive manufacturing greater design flexibility. In conclusion, the utilization of aluminum sheets in automotive applications has gained popularity due to their myriad advantages and their positive impact on vehicle performance and sustainability.

Im wondering as to how i darken the slide and frame of an airsoft 1911 pistol. I polished off all the black paint and exposed the chromish aluminum. I have some ideas to darken the metal but not sure. Maybe using olive oil and heating it up but im afraid i might warp the metal. I want it to come out sort of like a greyish gunmetal. Anybody know of a good process to give that worn out war like effect to the gun without painting it?

With aluminum, you would need to purchase a special aluminum darkening chemical if you do not want to risk warping the metal using the heated olive oil technique. The chemicals (brands such as Jax or Birchwood Casey) are available at many hobby shops.

Aluminum sheets are generally not as strong as some other metals such as steel or titanium, but they offer a good balance between strength and weight, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

Certainly, industrial shelving can indeed make use of aluminum sheets. Aluminum, being a material that is lightweight and durable, offers numerous benefits for industrial shelving applications. It possesses resistance against corrosion, making it suitable for environments that face exposure to moisture or harsh chemicals. Moreover, the strength-to-weight ratio of aluminum proves advantageous, enabling the creation of robust shelves capable of supporting heavy loads while remaining relatively light in weight. Furthermore, aluminum is low-maintenance as it does not necessitate painting or sealing like other metals. Consequently, aluminum sheets are an incredibly practical option for industrial shelving due to their durability, resistance to corrosion, and lightweight characteristics.
