Condenser coils in Air conditioning are made of copper or aluminum, where are you getting your info?

Now, condenser coils in a boiler are made of steel due to a strength requirement. Copper or aluminum would fail in both tension here and in corrosion. So steel is used here. Stainless steel is rarely used because it is a poor conductor in heat transfer.

What is the type of coolant are you using in your coils? If you can't get all the moisture out, what is the degradation products of the coolant with water? If the materials listed, which coil will corrode less?
