Yes. Do a search of the Archive will bring up in depth explanations of how to do it easily.
Quick synopsis: Take your torch with a fuel rich flame and "blacken" the surface of your aluminum. Then turn your torch to a neutral flame and heat the aluminum until the "black" burns off. Cool the aluminum. Done.
