Aluminum is still conductive, but less so, with a lower melting point, and it is extremely easily oxidized.
The oxidation in each is quite different, however; copper corrodes with green-blue oxidation, aluminum forms an aluminum oxide shell, which is very hard and shiny (often people mistakenly believe that aluminum doesn't 'rust' because the oxidized aluminum is actually stronger).

∙ 12y agoBoth aluminum and copper are metals that are known for their malleability, ductility, and conductivity.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThey are both metal and both good conductors of electricity. However, copper tends to be a better conductor, as it doesn't heat up as much, as it has less Resistance.

- Copper is different than the atomic weight of aluminum
- they both have a different number of protons, neutrons, and electrons :)

Aluminum has a specific heat capacity more than twice that of copper Place equal masses of aluminum and copper wire in a flame and the one to undergo the fastest increase in temperature will be?
copper
What has the lowest resistance copper wire or iron wire?
Copper wire. .wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and_conductivity
Is copper wire the same as thugsten wire?
No. Copper wire is made of the element copper. Tungsten wire is made of the element tungsten. Copper wire is made to conduct electricity. Tungsten wire is made for the filament in light bulbs as tungsten does not melt under even very high temperatures.
Is copper wire a pure substance heterogeneous mixture or homogeneous?
copper is an ELEMENT therefore it is not a heterogeneous OR homogeneous mixture.
What is it called when copper is pulled into thin wires?
Copper Wire
What materials could block a wifi signal?
aluminum foil and copper wire--but how does it block a cell phone's connection??-_-
Which of the following are good conductors under normal conditions water plastic a penny copper wire a dime or aluminum foil?
aluminum foil, dime, coper wire, penny, water
What purpose copper or aluminum generally used?
You can't prescribe a "General" use for these Metals. They have too many uses. For example: Copper...Wire, Pennies, Roofing, Art Works... Aluminum....Wire (in the past), Structural Materials, Foil, Airplane Components....
Which metal is used for making aeroplanes?
The metal which is most commonly used in making aeroplanes is aluminum. Aluminum can be flattened out into aluminum foil. It is Malleable. Copper is ductile. It can be made into wire. Hope this helped you!!! ___ . } (
Can you change from aluminum wire to copper wire in a new oven?
Copper is preferable to aluminum and the size of wire should be the same or the next size down if copper is used.
Can you mix aluminum wire with romex in a junction box?
No, do not mix aluminum wire with copper wire.
What is the aluminum wire equivalent to?
In the electrical trade aluminum wire is equivalent to copper wire as it is also used to carry current. To carry the same current as copper wire aluminum wire is up sized to meet the same ampacity.
Which alloy material can be easily drawn into wire?
Aluminum and Copper Wire
Which material has a greater resistance aluminum or copper wire?
Aluminium wire has high resistance than Copper.
Compare conductivity of iron copper and aluminum in terms of electricity.?
When compared by volume, copper is best, then aluminum and finally iron. When compared by weight, aluminum is better than copper. You have to compare by volume because aluminum is so much lighter than copper, an aluminum wire that weighed the same as a copper wire would be much bigger and harder to work with.
What size copper wire is equal to 0 aluminum?
#1 copper thhn
What element was found in wire?
copper, aluminum, and steel
