I intend on using aluminum screening, They have used aluminum in older transformers in the early 60s due to a shortage in copper..Im not to worried about this being effective as a shield for my electronics, as it will conduct.
Though the the screening will have a thin coating for anti corrosion.. I will make sure I have an even connection
in all places.
And lets say I weave copper strands though the aluminum,. or steel every 1 foot for a 6x6 enclousure?

Aluminium might be OK for an electrical field and environmental shield but is not so good as a magnetic shield. As an EMP most likely has a magnetic component, it probably wouldn't be too effective.edit on 30/5/2012 by chr0naut because: (no reason given)
