  2. Aluminium foil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_foil

    Microscopic close-up of aluminium foil on the back of an intumescent rubber strip. Aluminium foil has a thickness less than 0.2 mm (7.9 mils); thinner gauges down to 6 μm (0.24 mils) are also commonly used. [8] Standard household foil is typically 0.016 mm (0.63 mils) thick, and heavy-duty household foil is typically 0.024 mm (0.94 mils).

  4. Aluminium alloy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_alloy

    Cast aluminium alloys yield cost-effective products due to the low melting point, although they generally have lower tensile strengths than wrought alloys. The most important cast aluminium alloy system is Al–Si, where the high levels of silicon (4–13%) contribute to give good casting characteristics. Aluminium alloys are widely used in ...

    The aluminum foil allows the flame to stay even and continuously radiate heat, as well as retain heat to help melt the leftover wax. Ellie Martin Cliffe, executive editor at our sister site, Taste ...

  6. Foil (metal) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foil_(metal)

    A foil is a very thin sheet of metal, typically made by hammering or rolling. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Foils are most easily made with malleable metal, such as aluminium , copper , [ 3 ] tin , and gold . Foils usually bend under their own weight and can be torn easily. [ 2 ]

    The Gmelin rare earths handbook lists 1522 °C and 1550 °C as two melting points given in the literature, the most recent reference [Handbook on the chemistry and physics of rare earths, vol.12 (1989)] is given with 1529 °C.

  8. Aluminium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium

    Aluminium (or aluminum in North American English) is a chemical element; it has symbol Al and atomic number 13. Aluminium has a density lower than that of other common metals, about one-third that of steel. It has a great affinity towards oxygen, forming a protective layer of oxide on the surface when exposed to air.

  9. Melting point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting_point

    The melting point (or, rarely, liquefaction point) of a substance is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid. At the melting point the solid and liquid phase exist in equilibrium. The melting point of a substance depends on pressure and is usually specified at a standard pressure such as 1 atmosphere or 100 kPa.
