Aluminium is a versatile material – but transparent? The possibility of converting aluminium into a transparent form is not new — but until now, this was only possible at great technical and financial expense. Researchers at the Ateneo de Manila University (Philippines) have now developed a simplified process that produces transparent aluminium oxide (TAlOx) in
Aluminium has established itself as an indispensable material in digital technology. With its unique properties — lightness, robustness and excellent thermal conductivity — it is impossible to imagine modern electronic devices without it. Smartphones, laptops, and data centres all benefit from the advantages of this lightweight metal.Customised extruded profiles are a particularly important component. These
An experiment was conducted to investigate which impurities interfere with depth scattering during electrolytical tin colouring. The aim of the experiment was to determine the influence of individual foreign ions on the homogeneity of the deposited tin layer and the associated optical scattering properties. Experimental procedure For the experiment, EN AW 5005 metal strips were
The aluminium industry is undergoing a significant transformation driven by digitalisation and Industry 4.0 concepts. These changes not only enhance efficiency but also introduce new business models and improved processes. For small and medium-sized enterprises, modernising production technologies and internal workflows is essential to remain competitive. Automation and Real-Time Data: Transforming Aluminium Production IoT and
Anodised aluminium surfaces are characterised by their protective, ceramic-like oxide layer, which can, however, show fine cracks, so-called microcracks, in certain situations. These microcracks often only become visible when the light falls at an angle, whereas they are barely noticeable when viewed directly. They are an indicator of mechanical or thermal stresses on the surface
Imagine a company deciding to redefine its business practices to ensure not only commercial success but also a sustainable future. This is exactly what Alufinish has done. Our journey did not begin with a simple desire to comply with legislation. It began with a vision: to become an environmentally conscious company that takes responsibility and
