I was wondering if you can use an inductive proximity sensor to detect aluminum or if a capacitive sensor must be used? I wasn't sure if inductive sensors were reserved for ferrous metals only.

I've used years ago an inductive proximity sensor for a test, and I remember that it sensed aluminium and copper way better than iron.
Just found this doc.
