Yes. They can chew through many metals including copper.

Steel wool works fairly well for proofing because it irritates their gums-although it rusts. There is a copper product called stuf it that solves this problem & works as well.

Yes. As a matter of fact rats can chew their way through almost anything to get to food. For this reason professional trappers recommend sealing up holes that rats can squeeze through with steel, otherwise it may get reopened.

Rats can chew through aluminum if they are determined enough, but it is not as easy for them as it is with softer materials like wood or plastic. Aluminum is a tougher material that is more difficult for rats to gnaw through compared to other common materials they encounter.

Yes. Ask any large city utility worker with 5 or more years on the job experience. They do certainly eat through copper wiring easily enough.
