Only on Star Trek do we find transparent aluminum. Any aluminum matrix is opaque. You can't see through it.
Actually there is such thing as transparent aluminum but the power required for the x-ray laser is more than a whole city's worth and the beam must be focused down to a point of less than one-twentieth of a human hair and only lasts for 40 femtoseconds.
Zero. It is not transparent.
no
Aluminium isn't a mineral (it doesn't occur naturally). Perhaps you are thinking of alumina, which does have transparent mineral forms called corundum (ruby, sapphire, padparadscha).
If they're transparent.
Ya, cuz 1 time in Star Trek they had transparent aluminum. For some whales and junk and its totally based on actual events that will take place in the future probably.
According to several sources Transparent Aluminum does indeed exist as a ceramic called AlON."Transparent aluminum starts out as a pile of white aluminum oxynitride powder. That powder gets packed into a rubber mold in the rough shape of the desired part, and subjected to a procedure called isostatic pressing, in which the mold is compressed in a tank of hydraulic fluid to 15,000 psi, which mashes the AlON into a grainy "green body." The grainy structure is then fused together by heating at 2000 °C for several days. The surface of the resulting part is cloudy, and has to be mechanically polished to make it optically clear."
yes it is possible by turning and milling..................
You need something transparent, convex and solid
The reaction is not possible.
Yes, but it has a hard transparent (sometimes colored) layer of aluminium oxide grown on it by putting it in an electrolytic cell (as the anode) and passing current through the cell. This layer protects the aluminum metal under it from damage. Note: if the anodization is red in color the aluminum oxide layer is actually synthetic ruby.
Aluminum foil is opaque.
No. Since the chloride ion has a 1- charge such a ratio is not possible. The formula for aluminum chloride is AlCl3.
