Load tester material

Can Aluminum be used instead of a copper block ?

Aluminum will result in a worse transfer rate of heat into the evaporator, although technically it will be a slower one and similar, copper will transfer the heat faster.
Ideally silver would be used, I recently ordered a ingot to make my next load tester out of. But copper is sorta the minimum.
