Most basically, brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, while aluminum is a pure element.
Booster cables - what is the difference in use between copper cald aluminum and 100 copper wire?
It depends on some factors which are not mentioned in the question. The main difference between 100% copper wire and copper clad aluminum is that IF they are the same diameter, then the copper will carry and stand up to more electrical current than the aluminum. If the diameter of the aluminum cables have been upgraded in size, to match the current carrying capacity of the normal copper cables, then the only remaining difference is that copper withstands much more bending and coiling beforethe metal begins to "work harden," and some of the individual wire strands begin to break. In other words, the copper stands up to use better than aluminum. When buying booster cables, read the lables, and make sure that the maximum number of Amps, for which the aluminum cables are capable of carrying, is equal to or greater than the highest rated copper cables. Therefore, IF the copper clad aluminum cables are rated for the same current carrying capacity as copper cables, then there is NO difference in use between the two types.
Difference between aluminum foil and aluminum rod or powder?
There is a slight difference between aluminum foil and an aluminum rod or powder. This difference is simply the shape it takes.
What is the difference between iron nickel steel and cobalt from brass bronze aluminum tin silver gold and copper?

Performance difference between aluminum-based magnet wire and copper-based magnet wire?
According to different conductors, magnet wires can be divided into copper-based magnet
Which metal is most reactive between copper and aluminium?
aluminum
How to tell the difference between extruded aluminum and stainless?
stainless is steel. aluminum is aluminum
Which is the least conductor among iron copper aluminum?
Between iron, copper, and aluminum, copper is the best, followed by aluminum, and last by iron. Gold is often plated over other metals because it is even better and resists corrosion.
What is the difference between copper nitrate and copper nitrite?
dsf
What is the difference between a junk yard and a salvage yard?
The difference between a junkyard and a salvage yard is what they keep. A junkyard takes mostly car parts. A salvage yard takes all kinds of scrap metal like aluminum and copper.
