Gilded Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 "its the circuits which are made out of silicon" Well duh! I was just amazed of the fact that it's POROUS silicon, which is quite an exotic form of it. And tolgucak, no matter how bad you want the 6061 powder, tripleposting is not a good option.

Gilded Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 It's an alloy of aluminum. Can't remember what sort exactly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tolgucak Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 really sorry for trippleposting!. it's just my newness of this forum. yes this (6061) is a magnesium and silicon alloyed aluminum. I will use the powder for my thesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budullewraagh Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 oh, i was close then. sounds like quite a decent reducing agent when powdered finely enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doobuzz Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 If anybodys still intersted you can get sheets of alu relativly cheaply from some hobby shops. Otherwise ask at your high school/secondary school engineering department, they sometimes have off-cuts which you can get for free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
person Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 This thread has been dead for years and now but anyway. When i need Al powder and it isn't critical that it be very fine (or pure for that matter) then i just take Aluminium foil and put it in a blender. If you run the blender long enough it makes it fine enough to make thermite with and you get showers of bright white burning pices of Al what ever you use it in.

suicidewafflez Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 You might be able to make pyro-grade aluminum powder with a strong base. You'll have to keep it from oxidizing though. If it's aluminum oxide, don't not or inhale it. You can actually make delta dust from that stuff. DON'T use a powered grinder of any sort. First of all you will make it dull. Second it will become corrosive to the parts making the wheel turn and could possible come off; how much would it hurt getting hit by a heavy wheel turning possible 1000rpm or higher? It most likely wouldn't do it to a blender though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chao129 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 get a drill and some kind of grinding attachment. use that on a cut up aluminum can. but between ebay and the rest of the internet, it shouldn't be too hard to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
