No it can't be used because it is the conducter of current and will be dangerous too for everyone so plastic is used to cover because it is insulator

-no, because the reason electric wires are covered in plastic in because plastic is a good insulator, meaning that it does not conduct electricity well
-so when one touches the electric wire, they don't get electrocuted due to the insulation of the wire not conducting electricity
-aluminum is a good conductor of electricity, so if we use it to cover wires, someone might touch the wire, and get electrocuted
-electrical safety is the main point here
