So aluminum stands in for supplies/crew/electronics in the crew modules. I also noticed that turbopumps autoloaders don't have the weight of their driving components like pistons or magnets listed.
That lead me to think that contrary to my initial assumptions where aluminum is being used for bracing in autoloader and turobopumps, "aluminum" is actually an abstraction for the magnets in the electric motors that are needed to run auotloaders and turbopumps, which would have to scale bigger as they go faster.
