I've been using the same aluminum [aluminium] insert in my cast
iron table top since 1975 and haven't detected any ill effects.
It's probably something not much worth worrying about.
I recently added an outfeed table to my saw - also starting by
attaching an aluminum angle - that you can look over at
http://www.iedu.com/DeSoto/outfeed.html. It seems to be
surviving fairly well (and will probably outlast me!)
