No, However, aluminum (sometimes written as aluminium) is an element.

Alumina is an informal name for the compound aluminum oxide (Al2O3).

How do you break aluminum alumina bond?

I'm not quite sure what you mean because alumina is a compound (aluminum oxide or Al2O3) and aluminum is an element. Therefore, there isn't a bond per se from aluminum to alumina... just aluminum-aluminum bonds and aluminum-oxygen bonds. I do know that alumina will dissolve in a strong base solution, such as KOH or NaOH, and so if you have a layer of alumina on an aluminum sheet, a strong base solution will remove it. Also, a strong acid will dissolve the aluminum. (I do have to admit I'm not entirely sure what the effect of a strong base on aluminum and a strong acid on alumina is, though... and that might be a problem... hmm...)
