Aluminum can be bonded to aluminum in a number of ways. It you're talking about the atoms of the metal, then the answer is the bonding that holds a metallic crystal together. The atoms form a face centered cube, but what's important is that the atoms "grip" each other pretty tightly. Metallic bond strength varies from metal to metal, as you might expect. But the bonds that hold solid metals together can be quite formidable; we know (a lot of) metals to be pretty darn strong in their solid phases. That's those metallic bonds at work. This wasn't your question? Pieces of aluminum can be welded to other ones. This is standard operating procedure (SOP) for the makers of many, many things, like bicycles, just to cite one example. The bond of a weld is generally stronger than the metal around that weld. (Some heat treating may be needed.) There are also some fabulous adhesives that bond aluminum to aluminum. You're not going to be gluing up a bike frame, probably. But you can make a lot of other things with the contemporary glues we have. A link is provided below to the Wikipedia post on aluminum, an amazing metal.

Well, since aluminum is an atom then its the same as any other atom, and you can find that in a chemistry book. And that is how I sailed around the world on a five legged platypus
