I was addressing the 2 most ignorant posters in this thread
ignorance is curable, but it may take some effort
it seems clear you do not think, just gather opinions you feel are in support of your point
I am hoping geek will get an education

this topic has been talked to death on OCers, and here
search some: galvanic corrosion, cell corrosion, etc.
examples abound, there was a D-Tek al top on OCers, some really nifty nickle plated al on OCAU - look around

aluminum is a acceptable material, with appropriate precautions:
1) anodize it
2) ALWAYS use a corrosion inhibitor
and if you follow #2, you can skip #1; UNLESS you have a moist air environment (where the corrosion inhibitor cannot protect the surface - as a previous poster did make clear)

sound like your application ?

go learn something
