    We can base this on the equation of thermal expansion.

    ΔL = L₀αΔT

    where

    ΔL is the expansion of length upon heating

    L₀ is the initial length

    α is the coefficient of linear expansion

    ΔT is the temperature difference

    So, if α for Aluminum is greater than α for Copper, then after heating, aluminum would be longer than copper.
