Amazing - What Gallium does to an Aluminium Can

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Liquid Gallium metal Vs Aluminium or Aluminum. Watch what happens if you put Gallium onto aluminium. I had to sand down the surface of the can to get it to work. The drinks can seems to absorb some of the gallium, and change the structure of the can. It becomes soft and very weak.

    If you cut aluminum into small pieces and dissolve them into liquid Gallium. You need to put the combination to an alkaline solution so the oxidation on the aluminum will dissolve into the alkaline solution and then alloy with gallium. Once done you can put the alloy blob into water. It will spin and move around water without any external energy. This is because the aluminum in the mixture reacts with water to form aluminum Hydroxide thus propelling the blob. You can imagine the application for such a reaction. This was discovered by a Chinese team of scientists.

    The reason why only the top of the can was affected is because the top and the body of the can are made from two separate aluminium pieces which are pressed together to form a seal. The way that Gallium works is it first penetrates into the crystalline structure of aluminium and then works its way through it. Because there are 2 separate pieces, most likely separated by the same thin aluminium oxide layer that you had to scratch off initially, the Gallium never managed to transition into the body of the can.

    Aluminum oxidizes quickly in air, forming a strong surface layer of aluminum oxide that prevents the rest of the aluminum from reacting. The sandpaper scratched off this protective layer of aluminum oxide, allowing the aluminum to react with the gallium. The molecular structures of metals act like a sea of atoms. When you combine a sea of aluminum atoms with a sea of gallium atoms, they mix (like pouring a cup of blue water into red water) and form an alloy. A Gallium-Aluminum also is very weak, so that’s why he was able to poke through the can. But, you can do this with most pure metals and get different alloys of varying strengths.

Why is liquid metal is mixing its way inside so easily while other liquid/gaseous substances have so much trouble?

    Just to add a bit more information... Usually when you have to weld Aluminium you need to have a machine with pulsed current, in which the current is pulsed. You need to have this because to have a good weld you need to "break" the aluminium oxide layer first, but aluminium oxide has a higher melting point (2070ºC~2343K) than aluminium (660ºC~933K), therefore, the high peak of current basically breaks the oxide and let's the fused material (generated by the lower peak) to adhere to the base material, creating a bead. I'm not sure tho if it's only Al2O3 on the surface of the cans... I think they have another type of coat ;) But I can't remember the name or if it's really that case.

    I can explain why this happened. When aluminium is subject to air, it forms a layer of aluminium oxide around itself. This is why aluminium doesn’t rust and would explain why the gallium did nothing, it was not in contact with aluminium, but aluminium oxide, but when you sanded the can, you took that layer off and so the gallium was able to find some aluminium

Both parts are also coated with a special protective layer. In order to make a whole can brittle, you would need to sand the top and the side or bottom, then apply gallum to both sanded areas. Hope this helped ^^

    What you wanna do since the bank vaults aren't aluminium, is first cover an aircraft in gallium, then when it's structurally compromised and 'unusable', freeze it solid again with liquid nitrogen, then fly the airplane and crash it into the bank walls shattering the plane into pieces. Pick up one of the pieces, the resulting alloy will dissolve the bank vault and you should get in no problem.

    There's an aluminum oxide layer on the can that stops reactions from happening. You have a limited time until the oxide forms again to apply the gallium and have the reaction occur. The reason that RedBull #2 was stronger than Coke #2 is because the aluminum oxide was already reforming, so it would be harder for gallium to penetrate.

    What you scratched off is a layer called aluminium oxide. It forms very quickly with the oxygen in the air, but after it’s been removed the aluminium is free to react! The reason the red bull can wasn’t as soft is because an oxide layer began to form again! Hope this helps!
