Some years ago Bosch had the bright idea to save money by using
aluminum wire wound starter solenoids. The failure rate was
predictably high and our repair shop made out very well doing copper
wound replacements that quickly appeared. Aluminum is a dandy material
for all kinds of things if you respect its inherent properties.

I hear it makes great rocket fuel.
