"Alloy Pros:
Higher strength-to-weight ratio
• Corrosion resistant
• More elastic than aluminum
Cons:
• Becomes brittle at low temperatures due to impurities or other factors
Aluminum Pros:
• Less expensive than alloy
• Less elastic than alloy
Cons:
• Corrodes easily
• Conducts electricity but not as well as alloy
I hope this helps
