Description: | When aluminium is heated to relatively high temperatures, changes to the oxide film occur. This animation shows the behaviour of aluminium when it is heated to different temperatures. Press the button below to begin heating from the room temperature. For each temperature increase watch carefully for changes that happen (in this virtual experiment the time of heating to each stage is approximately one hour). |
