Looking for reflectivity of Aluminum Alloys over visible range.
Looking for reflectivity of Aluminum Alloys over visible range.
(OP)
I can find a lot of data for first surface thin films from UV to IR including oxidation over time. What I am looking for is the reflectivity over the visible spectrum from 0 to 90 degrees incidence for common Aluminum Alloys such as 2011 and 6061. I can already plug in a number of aluminum reflectors but I would like a more thorough understanding and accurate model from deep blue to near IR. Can anyone point me to a resource?

I assume you've done:

This one appears to have the most information, with some angular data: An Overview of Aluminum Protective Coating Properties and Treatments
Visible and Infrared Reflectance of Aluminum Mirrors and Its Change with Time
Obviously, these are for polished or mirror-quality aluminum.
