Aluminum in solid form does not produce flames. At just over 660 degrees Celsius it will melt. Aluminum is what's called a self-protecting metal; it rapidly forms a very thin oxide layer which then stops any further oxidation. Turning the metal into a fine powder will allow it to be burned; this is similar to how sparks are produced in fireworks (very fine particles of iron will burn in air as well).

Why does aluminium lose its shine when exposed to air?
Aluminium reacts easily with air, forming a skin of aluminium oxide which prevents further reaction.
Why aluminium resistant to corrosion?
A thin film of aluminium oxide forms when aluminium is exposed to air. This layer protects the rest of the aluminium from corrosion.
Does plutonium burn air?
Yes, plutonium can burn in air.

How do stainless steel and aluminium react similarly in air?
neither of them corrodes. Both of them are passivated, in stainless steel it is a film of chromium oxide, in aluminium a film of aluminium oxide.
