Aluminum radiators are lighter and cool almost as good as a copper/brass unit does. If they are both new then copper is going to cool better ,but the aluminum is up to 60% lighter.

How would you describe aluminum composite baseball bats?
In-depth information at www.baseballbatreviews.ruqqa.com/composite-vs-aluminum/composite-vs-aluminum-the-short-story
Have a small hole in radiator is it worth repairing?
It sure is. Leaking radiator fluid only causes the coolant system to de-pressurize and not effectively cooling all the internal working engine parts. As to repair costs, one needs to evaluate the cost of repairs vs replacing the radiator. If the car is older, then replacing the radiator might be the way to go.
What are the pros and cons of iron vs aluminum cars?
IRON STRONGER.....ALUMINUM LIGHTER.....IRON IS HEAVY.....ALUMINUM WILL BREAK EASIER THAN IRON
Are aluminum and aluminum oxide allotropes?
Not at all. Aluminum oxide is a compound of aluminum, not an allotrope. An allotrope of aluminum would still be called aluminum, but sometimes we distinguish allotropes by assigning numbers, such as sulfur-1, sulfur-2, etc. It refers to the specific structure which the atoms form (such as crystaline vs. amorphous).
Compare stainless steel on aluminum vs. galvanized steel on aluminum?
galvanised steel is a lot more safer....... if u go by the book.... it is upto 10 times stronger than stainless steel in aluminum
Overhead cables are made of almunium not of copper explain?
Much of the newer overhead cables is made of aluminum with steel reinforcing it for strenght purposes. Aluminimum is much cheap, and much lighter, thus it is cheaper to use vs. copper for high voltage transmission, and copper has a lower resistance which means more electricity can get through the wire/ cable, which means more electricity can get around the world quicker. most people should use copper becasue it has a lower resistance where aluminuim has a bit of a high resistance not to much but a bit so that is why you use copper not alominuim.
What property of copper makes it a good choice for electric wiring?
conductivity, it is one of the best conductors availableductility, its flexibleinexpensive, at least compared to silver the best conductoroxide is conductive, vs. aluminum whose oxide is an insulator, meaning corrosion over time won't cause a fireetc.
What is stronger iron or copper?
well if a robot fight happened between an iron robot vs a copper robot and they are dezined the same i would go for the iron robot
Will cheese last longer if stored in aluminum foil?
I have found that brick cheese, such as Tillamook Cheddar cheese keeps better if wrapped in aluminum foil vs plastic wrap or a plastic baggie.
How do you tell if you need a new radiator?
Three main reasons for replacing a radiator are 1) it leaks and replacing the radiator cap, hoses/clamps and making sure the drain valve at the bottom is complely shut hasn't stopped the leaks, 2) lots of rust on the lower half, especially on the cooling fins and at weld points where hoses connect, or 3) a radiator flush machine at your oil change shop shows that the flow through it is badly restricted due to mineral and rust buildup and the flush didn't improve it dramatically. Before you replace it, do replace the radiator cap. Sounds silly, but a weak spring or badly worn gasket can give symptoms that look exactly like a radiator about to die from not being able to hold pressure correctly. Inexpensive cap vs radiator? Easy choice. If you end up replacing the radiator, you'll need the new cap anyway.
About what percentage measurement difference is there between aluminum vs copper cable through house meter with copper going to circuit panel?
The only difference in the ampacity of the conductors that go through the house meter would be based on the sizing of the conductors. There are two sets of amperage tables in the code book. One is for aluminium conductors and the other is for copper conductors. If the house meter is for example rated for 200 amp distribution, a 3/0 copper conductor rated at 225 amps would be used or a 4/0 aluminium conductor rated at 205 amps would be used. The aluminium conductor is one size larger than the copper conductor.
What are the advantages or disadvantages of steel vs aluminum cars?
* Aluminium is lighter and doesn't rust * Steel is cheap, it is very hard, but can break
