Maybe, but I can tell you that copper’s thermal conductivity is better than e.g. gold, and copper can absolutely burn in open air if the particle sizes are small enough. Aluminum will too, of course.
I’m not about to try it with my meager supply of gold. The stuff is damned expensive at the moment.
