@ cholla,

Concerning Copper and Brass – Although aluminum is a conductive material both Copper and Brass are much better conductors. Copper and/or Brass do not corrode. Copper and Brass are very corrosion resistinat metals are excellent conductors of electrical current. That is why these metals are used extensively in electrical and electronic circuitry.
