Aluminum foil has many uses in the kitchen and beyond, from tenting over casseroles to even cleaning grill grates. But it's not infallible.
There are some aluminum foil uses we don't recommend, either because they're not effective or they're just downright dangerous. We're not suggesting you toss this versatile kitchen wrap, but do make sure you're not committing any of these common aluminum foil mistakes.
1. Don't use aluminum foil to bake cookies.
When it comes to baking cookies, it's best to reach for parchment paper over aluminum foil. That's because aluminum is extremely conductive, meaning any part of the dough that makes direct contact with the foil will be exposed to much more concentrated heat than the rest of the dough. What you end up with is a cookie that's over browned or even burnt on the bottom and undercooked on the top.
![[Image: aluminium_foil-large.jpg]](http://www.aluminium-sheet.com/images/aluminium_foil-large.jpg)
2. Don't put aluminum foil in the microwave.
This one may go without saying, but a little reminder never hurts: According to the FDA, you should never put aluminum foil in the microwave because microwaves reflect off the aluminum, causing food to cook unevenly and possibly damage the oven (including sparks, flames, or even fires).
3. Don't use aluminum foil to line the bottom of your oven.
Lining the bottom of your oven with aluminum foil might sound like a good way to catch spills and avoid major oven cleanups, but the folks at Reynolds don't recommend it: "To avoid possible heat damage to your oven, we do not recommend using aluminum foil to line the bottom of your oven." Instead, place a sheet of aluminum foil on an oven rack below whatever you're baking to catch drips (make sure the sheet is only a few inches larger than your baking dish to allow for proper heat circulation).
4. Don't use aluminum foil to store leftovers.
Leftovers will keep in the fridge for three to four days, but aluminum foil isn't ideal for storing them. Foil is not airtight, meaning no matter how tightly you wrap it, some air will get in. This allows bacteria to grow faster. Instead, store leftovers in airtight storage containers or food storage bags.
5. Don't toss aluminum foil after one use.
Turns out, Grandma was right. Foil can certainly be reused. If it's not too crumpled or soiled, you can wash aluminum foil by hand or in the top rack of the dishwasher to get a few extra miles out of each sheet. When you decide it's time to retire a sheet of aluminum foil, it can be recycled.
6. Don't bake potatoes in aluminum foil.
Think twice before wrapping your spuds in foil. Aluminum foil does trap heat, but it traps moisture, too. This means your potato will end up more soggy and steamed as opposed to baked and crisp.
In fact, the Idaho Potato Commission is adamant that baking potatoes in aluminum foil is a bad practice. Plus, storing a baked potato in the aluminum foil it was baked in gives botulinum bacteria the potential to grow.
So even if you do choose to bake your potatoes in aluminum foil, be sure to remove the foil before storing it in the fridge.
7. Don't use just the shiny side on aluminum foil.
Unless you're using a non-stick aluminum foil, it makes no difference which side of the foil you use. According to Reynolds, it's fine to place food on both the dull and shiny side of aluminum foil. The difference in appearance has to do with the milling process, in which one side comes in contact with the mill's highly polished steel rollers.

No 。Aluminum is one of the most widely used of the common metals. It is light-weight (about 1/3 the weight of steel) and its high strength-to-weight ratio make it a good choice for everything from aircraft parts to candy bar wrappers.

The difference between hot-rolled aluminum sheet and cast-rolled aluminum sheet
1. Different production processes: Casting and rolling is processed by a casting machine into a cast-rolled coil (8mm thickness) and processed by a cold rolling machine, while hot rolling is heated by an aluminum ingot (400-500mm thickness), which is heated by a high temperature. Rolled by hot rolling mill;
2. The supply of raw materials is different: the difference between the two is the supply of billets. The hot-rolled billet is cast aluminum ingot—heated—rolled into a coil for cold rolling, while the cast-rolled billet is cast-rolled coil—cast-rolled and rolled;
3. Different performance: hot-rolled aluminum plate has good surface quality, strong mechanical properties and ductility, and good oxidation effect. At the same time, the processed aluminum disc is generally processed from aluminum plate, which is naturally also affected by the performance of aluminum plate;
4. Different uses: cast-rolled aluminum sheets are mostly used in molds, and hot-rolled aluminum sheets are suitable for stamping and stretching.
5. Different prices: The process of cast-rolled aluminum sheet is simple, and the price is cheaper than that of hot-rolled aluminum sheet.
6. Different finished products: Generally, the elongation of cast-rolled products is lower than that of hot-rolled products.

Many customers do not know the differences between aluminum foil and tin foil.
Aluminum foil is a thin sheet of aluminum that is less than 0.2 millimetres in thickness and can be used for various different things around the house. Aluminum sheets vary in thickness depending on what the foil is supposed to be used for. The most common foil that are available for commercial use are 0.016 millimetres thick, while heavy duty household foil is typically 0.024 millimetres. Aluminum foil is mostly used for packaging foods and other materials. Aluminum foil at home is used to keep the air from the fridge to contaminate the smell of the food, while others are used to packing the item. Aluminum foils are easy to tear and are often used with other materials such as plastic or paper wraps to ensure more sturdiness.
![[Image: templatemo_image_01.jpg]](http://aluminium-foils-cn.com/images/templatemo_image_01.jpg)
In addition to packaging, aluminum foil is also used for thermal insulation, cables and electronics because of its ability to conduct electricity. Aluminum foil is made by rolling aluminum sheet ingots casts, which are then re-rolled multiple times until the desired thickness is achieved. The sheets are applied heat but are cold-rolled to ensure it does not tear apart. When the thickness of the sheet is less than 0.025 mm, two layers are usually put together for the final pass and are later separated. The two sheets when separated results in one side of the foil sheet being shiny, while the other being matte. Aluminum foil sheets are used for storage, packaging, cooking and for many other household purposes.
Tin foil is a thin sheet of foil made from tin. This was the most common type of packaging and insulating material used before the World War II, following which aluminum became the cheapest material and went into mass production. Tin foil is actually much expensive and less durable compared to aluminum foil.
These days, tin foils are used in electrical capacitors. Tin foils are made using a similar process to aluminum foils; the foil is rolled from a thin leaf of tin. Tin foils are actually stiffer than aluminum foil and can leave a bitter taste to food wrapped in it.
Now are you clear the differences between aluminum foil and tin foil?

Aluminum foil has become an indispensable food packaging material in people's lives in today's society. Whether roasting or grilling some fresh vegetables in a neatly packed package or folding a leftover pizza slice for later use, it is the perfect solution for almost any kitchen situation.
Many people might be confused when using aluminum foil rolls. Which side of the aluminum foil should face up, the shiny side or the dull side?
In fact, no matter which side, both sides do the same work in cooking, freezing and storing food, it makes no difference which side you use aluminum foil unless you use non-stick aluminum foil.
The non-stick aluminum foil actually has a protective coating on one side, so it is better to put the food on the side marked "non-stick" for maximum efficiency.
Now have you clear which side of the aluminum foil should face up?

With the development of lightweight automobiles, more aluminum extrusion profiles are applied to various parts of automobiles. For example, 6063 aluminum alloy is often used in automobile energy-absorbing boxes. Facing the severe situation of energy shortage and serious pollution, 6 Alloys are widely used in the automotive industry as a lightweight material. At the same time, the safety requirements of automobile profiles are also extremely high, so the profiles should not only have high strength but also good toughness indicators. The mechanical strength of 6063-T4 aluminum alloy material increases and the elongation after fracture decreases with the prolongation of T4 parking time. Considering the stability and plasticity of the material and other performance indicators, many foreign customers take the maximum force-plastic elongation Ag as an important indicator to measure the plasticity of aluminum alloy materials, and put forward higher requirements for the T4 state of aluminum alloy extrusion profiles.
![[Image: 1-2204211Q303202.jpg]](https://automotive-aluminum-sheet.com/uploads/allimg/220421/1-2204211Q303202.jpg)
At present, there are few studies on the Ag value of the maximum mechanical and plastic elongation in the T4 state of aluminum extrusion materials in China, especially the Ag value of thin-walled profiles below 2.5mm is difficult to reach the requirement of ≥20%, and the extrusion size of thin-walled profiles has always been Problems that plague the mold and extrusion production process. At the current level of technology, the maximum force-plastic elongation Ag of 6063-T4 extruded profiles with a wall thickness of less than 2.5mm can only reach 15% to 19%. In this paper, by improving the alloy composition, optimizing the extrusion process, and adopting the blocking flow structure design of the die, the final extrusion profile can meet the requirements of 6063-T4: Rp0.2≥70MPa, Rm≥150MPa, Ag≥20%; The performance of product 6063-T7 is: Rp0.2 is 220～260MPa, Rm≥240MPa, A50≥8%. And through actual verification that the performance of the product meets the requirements of various standards […]
1) As the mass fraction of Mg and Si elements increases, the mechanical strength of 6063 alloy increases gradually in T4/T7 state; the same composition alloy remains unchanged at ingot temperature of 420-510℃, extrusion speed of 4-12m/min and quenching cooling strength Under the same conditions, with the increase of extrusion ingot temperature and extrusion speed, the mechanical strength of T4/T7 state shows an increasing trend.
2) The ratio of alloy components Mg and Si has no direct effect on the maximum force-plastic elongation of 6063-T4. The use of lower ingot temperature, higher profile extrusion speed and strong quenching process can significantly increase the mold block flow structure design. Maximum force-plastic elongation in the 6063-T4 state.

Aluminum has been widely used in the world automobile industry and has become an important material for automobile manufacturing because of its excellent performance, good production technology and high material regeneration. Nowadays, countries all over the world pay great attention to the three major issues of energy, environment and safety, and urge the automobile industry to develop safe, reliable, high-speed, comfortable, energy-saving and environmental friendly modern vehicles. The main problem to be solved is vehicle lightweight. Weight reduction and energy saving has become one of the goals of modern automobile technology progress. The application of aluminum in automobile is an important way to realize automobile lightweight. Promoting the lightweight process is helpful to improve the service performance of automobile and bring great economic and social benefits.
Aluminum replaces the traditional steel to make cars, which can reduce the weight of the whole car by 30% ~ 40%. The research shows that every 1kg of aluminum used in the car can reduce the dead weight by 2.25kg, and the weight reduction effect is as high as 125%. At the same time, it can reduce the exhaust emission by 20kg in the whole service life of the car. That is, the weight reduction and emission effect ratio of aluminum is 1:2.25:20. Aluminum is easy to recycle. It is a material that can be recycled to the greatest extent other than steel. Almost 90% of automotive aluminum can be recycled and recycled. Today, with the rising awareness of environmental protection in the world, highly recyclable materials and products are increasingly reused. Therefore, aluminum makes a great contribution to promoting vehicle lightweight, reducing energy consumption and improving human living environment.
![[Image: 1-22042QP4294O.jpg]](https://automotive-aluminum-sheet.com/uploads/allimg/220428/1-22042QP4294O.jpg)
Aluminum has excellent physical and chemical properties. High conductivity, high thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance and small proportion are the reasons why it has been reused. Aluminum has good processing and mechanical properties. Its most remarkable feature is its versatility. The casting, forging and punching processes in industrial production are applicable. It is one of the few metals that can use a variety of casting processes to produce parts. It is the most suitable pressure casting process widely used in automobile production. At the same time, deformed aluminum can provide a variety of products for the automotive industry, such as plates, strips, foils, tubes, rods, wires, extruded materials and forgings with various section shapes. Aluminum has a long history in the automotive industry and has accumulated rich production experience, creating conditions for expanding the use of aluminum. Therefore, in terms of meeting the multi-purpose performance of automobile parts, aluminum is the most economical, practical and competitive material among engineering materials in terms of production cost, part quality, material utilization and adaptability of various processes.
Automotive aluminum can be divided into cast aluminum and deformed aluminum (including forged aluminum). In order to obtain large production batch, high production efficiency and low part manufacturing cost, the automobile industry selects casting process to produce more aluminum parts, accounting for about 3 / 4 of aluminum materials. Aluminum castings are mainly used for engine system, transmission system, chassis walking system and other parts. Aluminum castings are mainly used in the gravity casting process of the whole vehicle, and aluminum castings and gear boxes are mainly used in the production of aluminum castings. The aluminum casting process accounts for about 65% of the aluminum castings used in the whole vehicle, and the aluminum casting process of the low-pressure casting system is used in the production of the engine. In recent years, great progress has been made in the application of aluminum castings for cars in China. The amount of aluminum used in engine, gearbox, clutch, aluminum wheel and other systems has increased rapidly. At present, aluminum castings are almost used in engine cylinder head, intake manifold, gearbox housing and clutch housing of domestic cars [...]
Deformed aluminum is mainly used in various heat exchanger systems of automobiles, car body systems, box cars, luxury bus component systems, etc. The deformed aluminum materials mainly used include plate, strip, foil, extruded round pipe and porous flat pipe, welded round pipe and flat pipe, extruded materials and forgings of various shapes, etc. At present, China's deformed aluminum materials are mainly used in various heat exchanger systems of cars, the trunk of box cars and luxury buses, while there are few deformed aluminum materials used in the body system of cars. Because the body system accounts for 20% ~ 30% of the total weight of cars, aluminum materials can generally reduce the weight by 40% ~ 50% instead of traditional materials. The aluminum used in the body of cars is the most concerned problem of the automobile industry, and will be the focus of expanding the use of deformed aluminum materials for domestic cars in the future.
