'Voltage' isn't 'conducted'. Voltage can be thought of as 'electrical pressure' which, when applied across opposite ends of a conductor will cause a CURRENT to flow along that conductor.
So your question should really be asking, why aluminium conducts a greater CURRENT than iron.
The answer is simple. Aluminium is a better 'conductor' than iron. In other words iron resists the flow of current more than aluminium does. Or to express this in another way, iron offers a greater RESISTANCE to the flow of current.
Resistance is a natural property of a conductor, with some conductors have more, or less, resistance than other conductors. The best conductor, i.e. the one with the least resistance, is silver -closely followed by copper. Iron is a relatively poor conductor in comparison with silver, copper, or aluminium.

What element conducts electricity cadmium or sodium?
I believe you ment to say 'which element conducts electricity Cadmium or Sodium?'They both do. They are both metals.
What rock has oxygen silicon aluminum iron calcium sodium potassium magnesium and titanium in it?
The mantle has oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, and titanium in it.
Is sodium azide a good conductor of electricity?
Not in it's usual solid state. But sodium chloride will conduct electricity of molten or dissolved in water.
Is magnesium a good or bad reducing agent?
Quite good, just a bit better than Zinc, hardly better than Aluminum, and less than Sodium (Na), Ca, Ba, K and Li
How is aluminum and sodium different from each other?
There are so many ways they are different: 1. Sodium is more reactive than aluminium. 2. Sodium is softer than aluminium. 3. Aluminium conducts electricity better than sodium. ...
Is aluminum a better conductor than sodium?
Yes..Aluminium has a larger charge (more electrons) and the electrons cloud are more compress to the nucleus (small atomic radius) compared to Sodium. So the density of Aluminium is larger and this leads to better conductivity of electricity.
Is aluminum more electronegative than sodium?
Aluminum is more electronegative than sodium. The electronegativity of aluminum is 1.61. The electronegativity of sodium is 0.93.
What is Sodium aluminum silicate in pharmaceutical use?
sodium aluminum silicate is used as antacid in pharmaceutical and they formed a paste or gel for sodium aluminum silicate
Is sodium aluminum phosphate toxic in baked goods?
There are many studies showing that sodium aluminum phosphate may stay in the brain and cause alzheimers. The less processed food you eat the better off you will be. Many deodorants* have aluminum in them as well. *A lot of deodorants do not have aluminum. Almost all anti-perspirants do.
Is sodium aluminum silicate organic?
No. To be considered organic a compound must contain carbon. Sodium aluminum silicate contains sodium, aluminum, silicon, and oxygen, but not carbon.
Is Sodium Carbonate electrically conductive?
Sodium carbonate is a salt. Like all salts, it is nonconductive in solid form, but it is conductive in liquid form. Since it is water soluble, an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate also conducts electricity.
How would you arrange these elements in order of decreasing atomic size sulfur chlorine aluminum and sodium?
Sodium, Aluminum, Sulfur, Chlorine Largest---------------------->Smallest
Does sodium bicarbonate or baking soda contain aluminum?
No. Sodium bicarbonate only contains sodium, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
What has the higher melting point sodium chloride or aluminum oxide?
aluminum oxide : Al2O3
