[TowerTalk] Aluminum radials (score: 1): Author: Nick Pair <daweezil2003@yahoo.com>; Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2006 00:38:43 -0700 (PDT); Aluminum has several characteristics that make it a bad choice for any current carrying conductor. First is the fact that when placed in soil under even the smallest current it wants to return to the; /archives//html/Towertalk/2006-07/msg00491.html (7,858 bytes)

This might be ok for radials, however. Bill, W6WRT _______________; /archives//html/Towertalk/2006-07/msg00502.html (7,817 bytes)

Years ago when I used it I think it was called zinc chromate and was a primer for aluminum. This maybe different to what you refer to, but I have also seen the stuff in airc; /archives//html/Towertalk/2006-07/msg00510.html (9,206 bytes)

Re: [TowerTalk] Aluminum radials (score: 1): Author: "KA9OFM John Garrett" <ka9ofm@gmail.com>; Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2006 13:41:05 -0500; Unfortunately the chromite conversion coating does not give aluminum any more hardness. Plus the cost factor may not be worth it. Then again it all depends on the intended use. A ground radial system; /archives//html/Towertalk/2006-07/msg00513.html (11,107 bytes)

The irradiate process would be much better. Bruce _______________________________________________ _____________________; /archives//html/Towertalk/2006-11/msg00372.html (6,833 bytes)
