Composition information provided by the Aluminum Association and is not for design. r/engineering is **NOT** for students to ask for guidance on selecting their major, or for homework / project help. The emissivity is going to depend a lot on the surface finish of the machined part. I've found sources that show wildly varying values from .01 to .3: http://www.matweb.com/search/datasheet.aspx?matguid=0cd1edf33ac145ee93a0aa6fc666c0e0&ckck=1, http://www.infrared-thermography.com/material.htm. 3 0 obj

So that is why I would not expect to find values for as machined. Data points with the AA note have been provided by the Aluminum Association, Inc. and are NOT FOR DESIGN. If it's T6 then it's not as machined. Typically, as-machined bare aluminum will have very low emissivity, but it does depend a lot on the roughness as others have stated. Aluminum 3003-F(UNS A93003). %����
Table of Total Emissivity These tables are presented for use as a guide when making infrared temperature measurements with the infrared-temperature hand-held measuring instruments series IR. Emissivity varies greatly with surface roughness. The emissivity coefficient - ε - for some common qualities of aluminum: The ISS has some material experiments that are changing that, but only for low orbit applications. I hope this helps! Hey, I'm looking for a good rule of thumb for normalized emissivity of 6061-T6 Aluminum at 300K that is as-machined. So either polish it to minimize emissivity, or paint or black anodize to maximize. Hey, I'm looking for a good rule of thumb for normalized emissivity of 6061-T6 Aluminum at 300K that is as-machined. Black anodized probably has a more consistent value though. stream
The T8 and T9 tempers offer better chipping characteristics over the T6 temper. Note that the emissivity coefficients for some products varies with the temperature. Anyone have any good sources or guidelines for this? Typically it is pretty rare to not have some kind of surface treatment on machined aluminum parts that are going to space. I doubt it will oxidize in an orbital application, but I could be wrong. A treasure trove of material data they used for Apollo and the Space Shuttle. I'm doing some preliminary calculations for an orbit application heat sink. I highly recommend checking out the research from Dr. John Howell. At 300K I would assume the material has not been heated. Would you mind sharing the Title and Author? Generally, if you care, you want to do something to maximize or minimize it. Aluminum 1100 (UNS A91100). Subcategory: 6000 Series Aluminum Alloy; Aluminum Alloy; Metal; Nonferrous Metal. This was actually related to my masters thesis. endobj

From my textbook http://imgur.com/Ds96scm. Thermal Conductivity of Aluminium Alloy – 6061. Properties of solid materials from cryogenic- to room-temperatures. We guarantee that your information will not be divulged to the third party. Aluminum 6061-T6 (UNS A96061). But everything degrades over time and there's precious little data on the IR properties of paints and metals degrading over the course of 5+ years. Apiezon N I was analyzing the transient thermals in the GRACE satellite. <>
aluminum 6061 emissivity . I'm sure there are pdf versions online. I'm also interested in finding the normalized emissivity of the same aluminum, but black anodized. Material Notes: Information provided by Alcoa, Starmet and the references. That book is older than me. The heat transfer characteristics of a solid material are measured by a property called the thermal conductivity, k (or λ), measured in W/m.K. Subcategory: 6000 Series Aluminum Alloy; Aluminum Alloy; Metal; Nonferrous Metal Close Analogs: Composition Notes: Aluminum content reported is calculated as remainder. Aluminum 6063-T5 (UNS A96063). The thermal conductivity of 6061 aluminium alloy is 150 W/(m.K). The emissivity coefficient - ε - indicates the radiation of heat from a body according the Stefan-Boltzmann Law, compared with the radiation of heat from a ideal black body where the emissivity coefficient ε = 1. This is one of the best sources I have found. remember, if you are concepting something you don't need an exact number right now. As machined is 6061-F. Nope. Aluminum Allcast As Cast 27.00 1.566E+07 6.386E-08 CSNDT Cond. I would recommend looking at Michael Modest book on Radiation Heat Transfer to assist you with your design.
