  As all intelligent people know, Aluminum is like Copper  in that it's 
oxide is insoluable in water. So any thin layer of oxide that builds up on
a 
piece of Copper or Aluminum metal protects the metal from further
oxidation.

  This is why copper is used for roofs and Aluminum is used for siding and

ladders.

  Aluminum ladders don't corrode through when left outside or exposed to 
water, like a steel ladder would.

  Aluminum car frames are imperviouis to corrosion in exactly the same 
manner.
