Given that it was meant to be a demonstration of what tiny pieces of space debris can do to structures like the ISS, with a longterm presence in orbit, I think the choice of aluminum makes sense.

There is some stainless steel in its construction, but it's structural, and relatively insignificant compared with the amount of aluminum used.
