Do you know the melting point of aluminum foil?

Melting point of aluminum foil

The melting point of aluminum refers to the temperature at which aluminum foil transitions between solid and liquid states. When aluminum reaches this temperature, the foil begins to transform from a solid to a liquid state. Aluminum has a relatively low melting point, which makes it popular in many industrial applications because it can be melted and reshaped at relatively low temperatures. Aluminum foil comes in 1000-8000 series aluminum alloys, and aluminum of different purity and alloys may have different melting points. The 1000 series aluminum foil has the highest aluminum content and is also known as the 1xxx series pure aluminum alloy. The melting point of pure aluminum is 660.4°C, but the alloy of aluminum may change due to the addition of other elements.

Melting points of different series of aluminum foils

Different series of aluminum foils may have different melting points due to different compositions and alloy ratios. For example, 1235 aluminum foil belongs to the pure aluminum series, and its aluminum content reaches more than 99.35%. In theory, its melting point should be close to the melting point of pure aluminum. 8011 aluminum foil, 3003 aluminum foil and 5052 aluminum foil are aluminum alloy foils. Although other elements (such as Fe, Si, Mn, Mg, etc.) are added to their compositions, the amount of these alloying elements added is usually not enough to significantly change the quality of aluminum. basic melting point.
