Aluminum expands and contracts at a different rate than copper, and aluminum oxodizes/corrodes creating a resistance point.
It is interesting to note that the power feed from the transformer to the house is aluminum in most cases.
I did switch all my fuses to copper in the car. Fuse problems ended.
