The distinguish between aluminum foil sheet and tin foil sheet

The main difference between them is that the melting point of aluminum foil is higher than that of tin foil paper and is more suitable for barbecue food.
Aluminum foil: aluminum or aluminum alloy by the extension of the equipment from the processing, the thickness of 0.025mm below the habit of aluminum foil, the thickness of 0.2mm or less called aluminum foil, the thickness of more than 0.2mm called aluminum. The density of aluminum or aluminum foil is 2.70 g / cm3. Melting point 660 °C. Boiling point 2327 ℃, the appearance of silver-white light metal, ductility and development. In the humid air can form a layer to prevent corrosion of metal oxide film.


Tin foil: is made of metal tin by the extension of equipment, with excellent ductility and development, so processed into the thickness of 0.025mm below the foil is very easy, even with manual processing, tin density 5.75g / cm3 , Melting point 231.89 ° C, boiling point 2260 ° C. Has excellent ductility and development, good corrosion resistance, low melting point characteristics. The appearance of silver-white microstrip blue metal. When the tin is heated to 160 ° C or higher, it is converted to brittle tin. Chemical properties are relatively stable, at room temperature does not react with the air.
