Aluminum burns at over 4,100 K (6920°F), which is why it is used as a component of some solid rocket fuels. When it burns, it produces Al2O3 (alumina). Wow! You can really get some high exhaust gas velocity (and thrust) this way!

∙ 13y agoI do not think it can burn. the "show" you see as "burning-like" (it shrinks dramatically) is due to residual tensions into the material, following to calendering process used to make it as a foil.
As the temperature raises, viscosity of alluminium drops, this fact, around the melting point unleashes those tensions and the alluminium gets back to its previous physical state (far from being foil shaped). it can not burn, it simply shrinks. bye

How much heat can aluminum withstand?
That depends on what you are trying to ask.First point is that heat is energy in transit - if it isn't moving from one place to another it's technically not heat. Thermal energy - the energy held by a mass due to temperature is a better term, but even that is a bit ambiguous.With that in mind...if you mean how much energy can be stored as thermal energy by aluminum, you would have to look up the heat capacity - which is approximately 0.91 kJ/kg K (the exact value depending on temperature and purity of the aluminum)If you mean how much resistance aluminum foil can provide to the transfer of heat, that would depend on the temperature gradient and how shiny the aluminum was - shiny aluminum will reflect more heat that dull/burnished aluminum surfaces.

Does aluminum melt at a higher temperature than aluminum oxide?
Aluminum oxide has a higher melting point than aluminum. Aluminum oxide melts at around 2072°C, while aluminum melts at a lower temperature of around 660°C.

Why can a camel withstand high temperature?
a camel withstand high temperatures because they have stored water in their body
How much heat can aluminum metal stand?
Aluminum can withstand high temperatures up to around 600-700°C (1112-1292°F) before it starts to soften and lose its structural integrity. It has a relatively high melting point of about 660°C (1220°F).

Why is aluminum used on cooling fans in lawn mowers?
Because aluminum is strong enough to withstand the strain on a cooling fan, and aluminum is lighter and less expensive than other metals suitable for the application.
