Copper and aluminum conduct heat quite a bit better than iron, so pans made of those metals generally get the heat to the food better. The thermal conductivity of copper is about 25% better than aluminum, and aluminum is about 3 times as good as iron, just to ball park the performance.

Can you change from aluminum wire to copper wire in a new oven?
Copper is preferable to aluminum and the size of wire should be the same or the next size down if copper is used.
How to transport and store copper clad aluminum?
In the process of transporting copper-clad aluminum, you should pay more attention, because if it is not transported properly, it will cause damage to the copper-clad aluminum, and the impact will be relatively large. We will bring you more exciting information in the future.
What kind of circuit breaker should you use with aluminum wire?
Almost all circuit breakers are rated for copper (cu) or aluminum (al), there is a label on every breaker made, as long as it has the (al) marking it is suitable for use with aluminum wire
What metals Aluminum Copper Iron Magnesium Manganese or Zinc should be the most reactive towards oxygen?
magnesium is most reactive
Do you have to use a special fixture with aluminum wire?
aluminum wire expands and contracts with heat. copper is more stable. unfortunately you have aluminum. in a device connection, its not an issue. just make sure that your connection is secure, by pulling on the individual wires of the connection to be sure the wire doesn't pull apart. what you should check is the screws that hold your aluminum wire at the source, make sure those connections are tight. a loose connection will generate excessive heat.heat will melt metal, plastic, and cook body parts.make sure you are not grounded when you touch the source. I know of no electrician who would use aluminum wire in any application except a service entrance. I used copper on my own houses. Yes. You need special Al or AlCu devices for aluminum. Remeber aluminum reacts with copper so you can't connect aluminum to copper. Idontreallycare - Aluminum wiring was used in houses built in the 60s when there was a shortage of copper due to the Vietnam war. It is no longer used in new construction, but still exists in old houses
Why foodstuffs with acid components should not be stored in alluminium or copper utensils?
Foodstuffs with acid components should not be stored in aluminium utensils because this result in the production of poisonous salts.Iron, aluminium, and copper containers are prone to such attacks by acids.

What should for get more pound?
You should get more money per pound for copper than for aluminum.
Why acidic food should be stored in metal containers made up of copper and aluminum?
acidic food related ingridients can react with metal , copper and aluminum , THUS making it poisonous to the human body
What is the current price of scrap aluminum in Ohio?
As of June 2011 - scrap aluminum prices in/near Michigan are Clean Aluminum Wheels$0.88 Unclean Al Wheels$0.73 Old Sheet Aluminum$0.63 Painted Aluminum$0.75 Cast Aluminum$0.63 Clip Aluminum$0.78 Extruded Aluminum$0.90 these prices are subject to change and you should call your scrap yard daily or check prices online
What do you need to do to attach an aluminum wire to a copper wire?
Do not do it! Aluminum and copper or dissimilar metals that expand and contract at different rates. For this reason you should never connect aluminum and copper together. This is a fire waiting to happen. <<>> Look for an approved connector. There are connectors that allow dissimilar wires to be spliced together. Look on the package to see if it has the symbol Al/Cu. These types of connectors are UL/CSA approved.

What metals Aluminum Copper Iron Magnesium Manganese or Zinc should be the most reactive towards oxygen?
magnesium is most reactive
What should be done with the used of copper chloride etching solutions?
Copper has high biotoxicity and cannot be removed adequately by sewage plants, so while it is common for electronics hobbyists to flush it down the drain this should be avoided (although the amount in used by hobbyists is probably minor). I have read that adding aluminum foil to the solution prior to disposal will precipitate the metallic copper creating nontoxic aluminum chloride. Filter out the copper flakes and pour the remaining liquid down the drain.
What is one way to make conduction?
First the conductor should be available (as copper, aluminum, iron, ... ) then to have a gradient (electric gradient, temperature gradient, ...)
