Are there any issues with jointing a cable with copper screen onto a cable with aluminium screen?

Do you need a special kind of joint like bimetalic one?

Only if you want to prevent corrosion at the joint.

Isn't most double shielded cable tin plated copper braid over aluminum foil? I don't see any issues that stand out.
