I know it's counter intuitive but yes, based on strength tests I read. But I'm far from metallurgist, so no real clue.
We are not comparing steel fork to aluminum one. What are wheels made from nowdays?
But yea at the same time, in the thread above the alum threads came out, which would indicate the opposite so go figure.

Dacromet Plating is in fact a water based, environment freindly process of zinc and aluminum coating in chromate solution with low friction coefficient that facilitates bolts and nuts with the means to resist corrosion against high humidity and high temperature.

Some people get mad when you bring a dead thread to life... The same people get mad when you start a new thread on topics that already have existing threads. Damned if you do, Damned if you don't.
