I am looking for an exact value of absorption coefficient of aluminium for microwaves, but I can not find it in the internet. Anyone knows where I can find it?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
apart from what Marcusl said, and I agree with,

if you need an exact value ... then what is the exact frequency of the microwave radiation
absorption amount will change with frequency for any substance

While the absorption may be difficult to find the reflectance is not,
So since the broad spectrum microwave reflectance is above 97%,
We can infer any possible absorption is less than 3%.
