The main test for aluminum is by using a magnet. Aluminum is not magnetic. If a steel is tested and the magnet clings to it then that is a good indication that it is not aluminum.

Is there a test to determine something is stainless steel and not aluminum?

Use a magnet. Magnets stick to steel but don't stick to aluminum. Stainless is very weakly magnetic at best. Best to identify aluminum from stainless by weight (aluminum is much lighter) or by hardness (aluminum is much softer; scratches more easily). ***************** Though magnet test can show the difference between magnetic steel and aluminum, it cannot show the difference between non-magnetic steel and aluminum. In this case you can tell the difference by 1. weight , since aluminum has density 2700 kg/m3 and steel (magnetic or not) 7500 2. hardness, using a knife or something similar, since aluminum is softer than steel

Can you use a diablo saw blade to cut up aluminum siding?

I use a carbide tipped saw blade (100 tooth) to cut alot of aluminum, but you have irregular shaped and thin aluminum that can tear out very easily. Remember, the finer the tooth, the less tear-out, try a test piece first.
