Aluminium will usually fail before carbon as carbon is more elastic
Aluminium will probably fail first but your reasoning is wrong.
Sorry but it'sthe other way round, Aluminium has much lower modulus of elasticity. Basically this is a measure of how much force it takes to extend this material.
Carbon also doesn't really have an elastic deformation region at all, unlike aluminium where you will see the material stretching before it breaks completely carbon will reach it's fail point and then do so with little warning.
