Copper not only has a higher conductivity than aluminum, but is more ductile, with relatively high tensile strength, and can be soldered. Aluminum has less conductivity, about 60 percent of copper, but its lightness enables it to make long spans possible. Summary: 1. Aluminum wires are corrosive and can cause fire. 2.he other main difference between copper and aluminum wires is the resistance of the material. Aluminum and copper are both the most commonly used conductors, with positive and negative characteristics.
