There's Aluminium cast into the motor part of the shaft, the cylindrical chunk on its centre.
The pistons often got a Aluminm conrod or end cap and sometimes there's a Aluminium 'oil scoop' pickup on the end of the shaft held on by a tiny grubscrew.

I have separated them, but the noise, hard labour, blood sweat and tears made it not worth it.
Irony, Aluminium.
