Aluminium foil foil rolling mills to the desired thickness, or by continuously casting and cold rolling. To maintain a constant thickness in aluminium foil production, beta radiation is passed through the foil to a sensor on the other side. If the intensity becomes too high, then the rollers adjust, increasing the thickness. If the intensities become too low and the foil has become too thick, the rollers apply more pressure, causing the foil to be made thinner. The continuous casting method is much less energy intensive and has become the preferred process. For thicknesses below , two layers are usually put together
Foil (fencing) torso, where the vital organs are. In 1896, foil (and saber) were included as events in the first Olympic Games in Athens. Women's foil was first competed at the Olympics in 1924 in Paris, and was the only Olympic fencing event in which women competed until women's epeé was introduced at the 1996 Olympics. Nowadays, women's fencing is just as popular as men's, and consists of all weapons (foil, epee, and sabre). Ratings exist in order to separate different level fencers from each other in order to create an even-playing field. A higher ranking is earned by performing well at
