[color=#262626][font=Roboto, sans-serif]Steel is made by a series of processes. First, steel is melted. While the steel is molten, some elements like sulfur are removed and some elements like manganese, vanadium, and boron are added. Elements that are removed to make one grade of steel to make it more formable will be added to a different grade of steel to make it stronger. Next, elements like silicon and aluminum that combine with oxygen to make solid compounds that have high melting temperat

What Aluminum Grade Should I Use?
|
|
Aluminum is a common metal used for both industrial and non-industrial applications. In most cases, it can be difficult to choose the correct Aluminum grade for your intended application. If your project does not have any physical or structural demands, and the aesthetics are not important, then almost any Aluminum grade will do the job.
We have compiled a short breakdown of each of the grades’ properties in order to provide you with a brief understanding of their many uses.

Better for what?
Tensile or yield strength wise, aluminium can't match Stainless Steel at any level.
Hardness wise, some specific treatment can give higher Hardness for aluminium, easily compared to what can be achieved for stainless steel.
Corrosion resistance wise, based on the application, each has its merits.
As a cooking utensil, Aluminium is being less and less preferred since there were some studies and claims of its perceived contribution to Alzheimers' disease.

Where is aluminum commonly found?
|
|
Aluminum is the third most abundant element and the most abundant metal found in the Earth's crust. It is generally found on Earth in minerals and compounds such as feldspar, beryl, cryolite, and turquoise. Extracting aluminum from minerals, however, is very expensive. Fortunately, the ore bauxite contains large amounts of aluminum oxide. Modern processes allow for aluminum to be obtained from bauxite fairly cheaply allowing for the metal to be used in a number of applications.

|
Where did aluminum get its name?
|
|
Aluminum gets its name from the mineral alum, which gets its name from the Latin word "alumen" meaning "bitter salt." Isotopes There are a number of aluminum isotopes, but only two occur naturally: aluminum-27 (stable) and aluminum-26 (radioactive). The vast majority of aluminum, over 99%, is aluminum-27.

If you can’t use aluminum foil in the bottom of your oven, what should you use instead? If you want to avoid cleaning up caked-on drips and spills, there are a few things you can do:
Put an empty baking dish on the rack below the food you are cooking. It will catch drips and make clean-up easier.
Use a silicone oven liner on your cooking racks. These heat-resistant, non-reflective accessories will help you keep your oven cl

Many Americans recycle glass, plastic and cardboard, but a lot of aluminum gets carelessly thrown away. So much of this lightweight metal is discarded that the U.S. commercial airline industry could replace its entire fleet every three months, according to a publication by the University of Colorado.
Making new cans out of old ones saves a lot of energy. According to the Windstar Institute, a manufacturing company could make 20 recycled aluminum cans by using the same amount of energy necessa

Factories and manufacturing plants often specialize in various types of metal fabrication, but the process of aluminum fabrication can differ from the processes for most other types of metals. Unlike some other metals, aluminum is often extruded during aluminum fabrication; this process involves drawing or pushing the aluminum blank through a die to create a shaped product. The process of extrusion can be done as a hot process, in which the metal is heated to become more malleable, or a cold pro

What is an Aluminum Duct?
|
|
An aluminum duct is a passageway made of aluminum that mainly is used to move air, such as with air conditioning or heating systems, throughout a structure or building. Heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) ducts are typically made of aluminum. Aluminum ducts also are used with home dryer systems; as aluminum doesn't rust, this type of duct is perfect for removing the warm, moist air expelled from the clothes dryer. The ductwork can either be flexible or rigid, and sometimes fibergla

What Does an Aluminum Fabricator Do?
|
|
An aluminum fabricator is a person who works with aluminum in many forms to create useful items. Using skills, such as cutting, bending and welding, the aluminum fabricator is able to make detailed projects that offer not only strength, but functionality as well. Many special skills are required of an aluminum fabricator, such as metallurgy knowledge, polishing and buffing. Some operations, including welding, can be dangerous for the fabricator unless special precautions are taken.

How to ensure the tightness of the aluminum tube
|
|
When using this connecting part, the most important thing to pay attention to is the sealing property. Only a good sealing can be used. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the models of the two products are the same, so that the connection can be completed, and the specifications of the products are guaranteed to be the same. Otherwise, when the connection is made, the sealing effect is easy to occur. Good situation.

Aluminum, our daily industrial raw material is called aluminum ingot, which is obtained by smelting (or refining) and casting by alumina-cryolite by electrolysis. According to the composition content of aluminum ingots:
1. pure aluminum: aluminum content 99.93%-99.999%;
2. Industrial high-purity aluminum: The content of aluminum is 99.85%-99.90%;
3. Industrial pure aluminum: The content of aluminum is 98.0%-99.7%.

Aluminum Vs. Iron Railings

Advantages of Steel Railing
Today, what we call "wrought iron" or "iron" railings are actually steel. They were once made of iron, but improved processing produced the steel that is used in all types of railings today. Steel is very malleable, meaning it can be worked in many ways to produce the same look as the antiques railings seen on old buildings. Steel railings are strong, durable and will last for many years. Steel can be bent, cast and shaped into an infinite variety of designs that can

Step 1
Clean off the metal with a dust cloth to prepare the metal for antiquing. If there is dust or grime on the metal, use a microfiber cloth and water to clean the aluminum.
Step 2
Make a few rub and scratch marks to imitate wear using a fine-grit sandpaper. Think of typical wear areas, such as corners and edges, and lightly rub the fine-grit sandpaper on those areas. Dust off sanded areas to remove any grit.
Step 3

[color=#2e2e30][size=1][font=ProximaNovaRegular, Arial, sans-serif]Aluminum is a useful material for vehicles, furniture, building and packaging. It is conductive metal that does not corrode easily and is very lightweight. The metal evaporates at high heat and condenses onto a cool surface, which is how many mirrors are made when the aluminum is condensed onto glass. Aluminum can take many types of coatings from paint to plastic to lacquer. The lacquered aluminum is most commonly used in food pa
