Can X-rays see through aluminium foil? - aadaasdark8072 - 10-09-2018
The aluminum foil can be penetrable. The thick aluminum foil should be able to see the penetrating power of X-ray machine. The high penetrating power can be seen under the aluminum foil.
Aluminum foil bag X-ray proof, you need the anti-static radiation, generally the aluminum foil bag is can't do such a request, only certain aluminum foil bag can do anti-static anti-static radiation (x-rays) prevention function. The aluminum foil bag in several kinds of commonly, ordinary industrial (LED, PCB, graphics CARDS, sound CARDS, electronic components) with aluminum foil bag, have anti-static function, but like the tea packaging, face film packaging, food packaging, etc with aluminum foil bag, not have anti-static function

It depends how much. Every material thickness attenuates the beam to a certain degree. If it attenuates little, for example, a single, thin, piece of aluminum foil then, yes, the beam is attenuated just a bit and there are enough photons passing through to still form an image. If you had a thick block of aluminum then it might attenuate all the photons and so, not produce an image. The amount of any material that attenuates half a beam (of a certain energy) is called the half value layer.

X-Rays will Pass Straight through Aluminium of Almost ANY Thickness as it’s Density is so Low !! But the Crystalline Structure of Diamond makes it Totally Opaque to X-Rays !!
