The core appears to be aluminum; the tanks are or appear to be brass. I'm about 90 % sure. Bottom line is it works great.

The tanks are brass or bronze. The fins, I don't know but it's been great because I really hate these modern plastic radiators.

It is an aluminum radiator. The tanks are also, no plastic in this unit at all.

I'm not sure what the inner tank is made from. It looks like stainless steel, but it could be aluminum. I just add water daily to top off the pot, but over the months, some scaling does develop on the inside of the tank, so it may be prudent to clean it several times a year.

I would guess stainless. Definitely not plastic, and too heavy for aluminum.

My friend, unfortunately, I can not resposnder the material used in the machine, but I believe it is the aluminum coil. I did not detect any abnormal variation of the indices in tests carried out in the water of the aquarium.Fernando Atvars...

Ha ha--I skipped metallurgy in college. My wild guess is an alloy. It is light but sturdy. I have put 4 pounds of fruit in it and it holds up fine. All I can really tell you is it is pretty.

It is NOT aluminum. This thing is HEAVY-DUTY. It lifts my full dresser with no sweat. Glad I choose this one!

It's metal--you specifically asked about the engine block, not the pedestal--the model parts are metal.

Looks like aluminum. Conducts heat (cold) like it, too. Not a problem in use, unless you're totally opposed to aluminum in food prep.

It's metal, feels more solid than aluminum but not sure. It's a quality piece.

All metal/aluminum construction... We are using it and it has been very good.

It is lightweight, so I think it is aluminum -- steel would be much heavier. It hasn't rusted at all.

Thank you SG; I mistakenly thought this was the copper core, not the aluminum. Everything else you stated is spot on though. Thanks for the help!

The tank is plastic and the center section is aluminum. This radiator looks just like the factory OEM, original equipment manufactor. As a technician, i highly recommend this part.

It is aluminum. No idea of the guage, but it has withstood two Maine winters and numerous huge wind storms, while loaded with clothes! I really like it and would get another.

The body is metal. Not sure what the top is made of, should ask the manufacturer.

Everything appears to be metal. I was cautious about plastic units breaking, which is why I went with this one. So far, it has held up really well, and is very sturdy (and heavy). I could probably use it as a weapon in a pinch. :)

It says it's made from resin. Resin is a plastic like material. There is no metal in it if that's what you needed to know.
