[QUOTE="Haunz, post: 6607075, member: 576010"] aluminum and copper have similar electrical and thermal conductivity given the same mass of material.. as well as a similar heat capacity.. The difference as far as coils go is that copper is more then 3x as dense so there is more material packed into the same volume... and with a given voume it has better thermal and electrical properties.. With two coils of the same size the copper coil will handle more power... but the aluminum will yield less moving mass... I can't comment on pricing except to say that my supplier sells aluminum and copper coils for roughly the same price.. [/QUOTE]
