  2. Aluminium foil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_foil

    Candies in aluminium foil packaging. Aluminium foil is widely sold into the consumer market, often in rolls of 500 mm (20 in) width and several metres in length. [14] Aluminium foil is also used for barbecuing delicate foods. [15] As with all metallic items, aluminium foil reacts to being placed in a microwave oven.

  3. Reactive multi-layer foil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_multi-layer_foil

    The foil can be used as a pyrotechnic heat source, a replacement of potassium chlorate/iron pellets, for thermal batteries. It reacts faster than the conventional composition, reaches higher temperatures, and heat buffers of inert metal (e.g. steel) are needed to lower the peak temperature and prolong the heat delivery.

  4. Aluminum electrolytic capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminum_electrolytic...

    By design, a non-solid aluminum electrolytic capacitor has a second aluminum foil, the so-called cathode foil, for contacting the electrolyte. This structure of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor results in a characteristic result because the second aluminum (cathode) foil is also covered with an insulating oxide layer naturally formed by air.

  5. List of insulation materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_insulation_materials

    This is a list of insulation materials used around the world.. Typical R-values are given for various materials and structures as approximations based on the average of available figures and are sorted by lowest value.

  6. Induction sealing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_sealing

    The bottom layer is a polymer film laminated to the foil. After the cap or closure is applied, the container passes under an induction coil, which emits an oscillating electromagnetic field. As the container passes under the induction coil (sealing head), the conductive aluminum foil liner begins to heat as a result of the eddy currents being ...

  8. Copper foil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_foil

    Copper foil is a thin sheet of copper metal that is widely used in various applications due to its excellent electrical conductivity, malleability, and corrosion resistance. It is an essential material in the electronics industry, especially for manufacturing printed circuit boards (PCBs) and other electronic components.

  9. History of aluminium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_aluminium

    Aluminium cookware began to be produced in the late 19th century and gradually supplanted copper and cast iron cookware in the first decades of the 20th century. Aluminium foil was popularized at that time. Aluminium is soft and light, but it was soon discovered that alloying it with other metals could increase its hardness while preserving its ...
