Is aluminium used for water pipes and electrical wires?
Aluminium is not used for water pipes. It's not as elastic as Copper. Because aluminium is less expensive than copper, it is sometimes used for electrical wiring, but, because it corrodes much more easily than copper, much more care has to be taken a) to protect it from the atmosphere and b) to make connections that will be remain reliable over a long period of time. Overall, aluminium wire is not as easy to install so, for general purposes, copper wire is better.
