There's a few things wrong here. First, it's made of steel, which is iron and not aluminum. Second, neither of those is as mineral. Third, aluminum has pretty good corrosion resistance in terms of metals.

None of that is to say that Tesla had any idea what they were doing when designing this monstrosity.
