FAQ

Yes, aluminum sheet can be painted. However, it is important to properly prepare the surface before painting to ensure that the paint adheres well and lasts longer. The process usually involves cleaning the aluminum sheet to remove any dirt, grease, or oxidation, followed by applying a primer to promote better adhesion. Once the primer is dry, you can then apply the paint of your choice. It is recommended to use a high-quality paint suitable for metal surfaces to achieve the best results. Additionally, if the aluminum sheet will be exposed to outdoor elements, it is advisable to use a paint that is specifically formulated for exterior use, in order to provide protection against weathering and corrosion.

the amp setting when welding aluminum tig? and what color should the electrode feeder be bronze or chrome grey? u know the one u use with your hands

Best electrodes to use for Aluminum welding is 1.5% lanthanum oxide (gold color code.). 2% zirconia (brown) or 2% thorium oxide (red) can also be used. Note that zirconia-doped electrodes should never be used for DC welding. A lot of welders like to quote offhand the rule 1 amp for every 0.001 inch of thickness. This applies to steel, stainless, and nickel alloys only. Due to the lower melting point, lower specific heat capacity, and higher thermal conductivity of of Al, this rule should NOT be used for Al! I recommend welding a test piece first with the same joint configuration and thickness of the part you intend to weld. Note that fillet welds require more current than butt welds or edge welds. Start out by using 2/3 amp per 0.001 of thickness, in other words, reduce the current of the above rule by about 30-40% . Make 3 test weld, then check to see if there's any visible penetration on the other side. If you don't see any through-pentration at all, increase the current by about 10-20 amps and test again.

Hi,I need some interesting facts about AluminiumLike who found/discovered it, and how, or/and history of it. Recycling it, or does it have effects on the environment,Thanks if you can help,Thank you thank you thank you!Xx

Aluminium is remarkable for the metal's low density and for its ability to resist corrosion due to the phenomenon of passivation. Structural components made from aluminium and its alloys are vital to the aerospace industry and are very important in other areas of transportation and building. Its reactive nature makes it useful as a catalyst or additive in chemical mixtures, including ammonium nitrate explosives, to enhance blast power. all the ifo u need isat the link below

There are several surface treatments available for aluminum sheets that can significantly enhance their corrosion resistance. These treatments include: 1. Anodizing: Anodizing is a widely used surface treatment for aluminum sheets. It involves immersing the aluminum in an electrolyte solution and applying an electric current. This creates a protective oxide layer on the surface of the aluminum, which improves its corrosion resistance. 2. Chromate Conversion Coating: Chromate conversion coating, also known as chemical film or chromating, is another common treatment for aluminum sheets. It involves immersing the aluminum in a solution containing chromate compounds. This forms a thin layer of chromate on the surface, which acts as a barrier against corrosion. 3. Powder Coating: Powder coating is a dry finishing process where a powdered polymer is sprayed onto the aluminum surface and then cured under heat. This creates a durable and corrosion-resistant coating that provides excellent protection against environmental factors. 4. E-coating: Electrophoretic coating, or e-coating, is an immersion-based process in which the aluminum sheet is submerged in an electrically charged paint bath. This attracts the paint particles to the surface, creating a uniform and corrosion-resistant coating. 5. Cladding: Cladding involves bonding a layer of a different metal, such as stainless steel or zinc, to the aluminum sheet's surface. This creates a protective barrier that shields the aluminum from corrosion. 6. Organic Coatings: Applying organic coatings, such as acrylic or polyester paints, to the aluminum surface can provide an effective corrosion-resistant barrier. These coatings form a protective film that prevents moisture and corrosive substances from reaching the aluminum. It is important to note that the choice of surface treatment depends on various factors, including the specific application, environmental conditions, and desired appearance. Some treatments may be more suitable for certain industries or environments, so it is advisable to consult with professionals to determine the most appropriate treatment for a particular application.

My frame snapped and I want to fix it by welding it back together. In order to do that, I need to know what all is in the aluminum.

You can NOT weld back an aluminum frame unless you have the facilities to anneal and heat treat the frame again. Rewelding without the post treatments will result in a very soft area around the new weld causing sudden catastrophic failure... this means if you are riding it could fail at any time causing injury or death. EDIT: Wait just a durn minute. The 2100 and 2300 had carbon fiber tubes bonded to aluminum lugs and stays. If your bike failed then you ABSOLUTELY should not try to weld it. The heat from welding (even if you had post treatment facilities) would destroy the bond between the CF and aluminum. Fair warning- cut the frame apart and throw it away.

Can someone please explained what aluminum reacts slowly with dilute acided?Thank you!

Aluminum metal is not very reactive because of the passivating layer of aluminum oxide, Al2O3, on the surface of the metal. The oxide coating can be dissolved by solutions which are either very acidic or very basic. ======== Follow up ======== Whoa, Nellie. Back the boat up. The oxide coating on aluminum comes from oxygen in the air and covers the surface of the aluminum long before it landed in the acid solution. The dissolved oxygen in the acid solution is NOT the reason for oxygen combining with aluminum. The pH of the solution has little influence on the amount of dissolved oxygen. The partial pressure of O2 above the water and the temperature of the water are much more important to the amount of dissolved oxygen.

do recycling centers take already compacted aluminum cans? Link is below. if not then why are so many people making homemade can crushers?

Aluminium is one of the most and best recyclable material. I'm sure they do.

Aluminum sheets are indeed suitable for electrical conductors. They are frequently employed as conductors in a variety of electrical applications due to their remarkable conductivity, lightweight nature, and relatively low cost in comparison to metals such as copper. With approximately 61% of copper's conductivity, aluminum serves as an efficient conductor for most electrical purposes. Power transmission lines, electrical wiring, bus bars, and numerous other electrical components commonly utilize aluminum sheets. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that aluminum possesses higher resistance than copper, necessitating larger cross-sections to carry the same current. Additionally, caution must be exercised to prevent overheating when employing aluminum sheets as electrical conductors, as they have a lower melting point than copper.
