Aluminise

: "Aluminised" fabric is used in fire proximity suits and gloves to reflect radiant heat away from the wearer.

: The aluminum layer forms a stable oxide skin (alumina) that acts as a barrier against moisture and oxygen.

: The metal part is "packed" into a mixture of aluminum powder, an activator, and an inert filler, then heated in a furnace. This causes the aluminum to diffuse into the surface, creating a protective aluminide layer .

: It provides many of the protective benefits of stainless steel but is generally lighter and more affordable for high-heat applications.
