I can give you one of the reasons.

aluminium that is used in the aviation industrie is an aluminium/copper =
alloy.
To prevents corrosion, a top layer of pure aluminium is added both =
sides.
You can damage that layer easy thus opposing the alu/copper material to =
the weather.

Parkinsons Disease. Explosion, I could see this with magnesium.
  Any of you machinists have any idea.
