All/most the aliexpress cranksets have aluminium spindles (!) too, which no mainstream manufacturer does afaik. Have seen one where through normal usage the spindle has worn and snapped where it comes into contact with BB bearings, leaving customer looking like that famous pic of Fignon.

Many do now with oversize axles. Sram Dub are aluminium, or at least some are. And Rotor too.
But yeah -
Loads of fsa, sram and rotor have an alloy axle. Difference being it's the right alloy, drawn, machined, surface finished and heat treated properly. Not some random alloy made into a round ish shape.

Please no one buy this.
Looks like a blinged up version of that 'thing' (as its not a crankset) a customer demanded we fit to his bike (instead of his existing visually worn, but not split in half r6800 ultegra) that came with a Sensah 2x 11 group.
From memory the lockring that held the chainring set (machined out of one piece, but had no shift pins on it, so changed gear like a budget 80's bike) was made out of some kind of cookie dough, even over torquing it, still had play in the chainrings. When pushed into an ultegra HT2 BB, it had play, in some way the axle was not machined true, or was undersized somewhere within the bearing contact zone.
Pretty. But junk along with most other stuff that comes from the place that knocks out sensah and others*
*Seen several, all the rear mechs develop hellish play out of the box in the B axle and every single other part of them, the cassettes don't change very well and weigh the same as a building OR the lightish weight ones wear out faster than any chain does, have never seen teeth worn down yet chain not very worn before, again made from some kind of cookie dough instead of actual metal.
Rant over. Please stop buying stuff pushed by sponsored idiots on youtube.
