It depends on the pressure and heat.

I've used aluminum in high heat(turbo bolts) and it kind of melted into a thin solid layer around the threads. The bolts came out but they were pretty challenging.

Copper I haven't ever had trouble with, but it's only slightly less expensive than nickle so....

Nickle is my preferred go-to. It's worth every penny.
