Are all the power lines on poles made out of aluminum?

Never understood why when building they use it for temp service and nothing else?

It varies. I think most modern overhead lines will be aluminum but you may still find some copper ones. I have run into both at utility substations. I haven't done much work in distribution where utility lines meet residential transformers.
