Solution

$\begin{matrix} D e c r i p t i o n & G a u g e & D i a . (i n .) N i c h r o m e 60 (C h r o m e l C) & 30 & 0100 6.75 o h m s / f t A l u m i n i u m 0.16 o h m s / f t & 30 & .0100 \end{matrix}$
The Aluminium wire would have produced more heat, because it has less resistance, more current would flow through it increasing its temperature.
