No, it is not an alloy. Aluminum is an element and is a metal on the Periodic Table of elements with the symbol Al.
In its pure form it is not very useful for forming into structural material, so it is mixed with other elements to make alloys which are more useful. Almost all aluminum used for aircraft parts or car parts or other structures is an alloy. There are a numerous variety of aluminum alloys availble to the design engineer.
Edit:
It should also be noted the correct spelling and pronunciation is "Aluminium" Not "Aluminum" as my American counterpart has liberally put above. There is no such element as "Aluminum" on the periodic table.
Sir Humphry Davy proposed the name aluminum for the metal but this broke the standardisation of names for that particular group of elements and the correct name was deemed "aluminium" This spelling is in use in all countries apart from the USA and small pockets of her neighbouring nations.
Aluminium was the spelling/name in the U.S. until 1925, when the American Chemical Society officially decided to use the name aluminum instead for reasons known only to them, much like the American date system...
AL in it's pure form is not alloyed with any other materials. It is extracted from bauxite.

Is tin foil an alloy?

How much of an alloy that is 20 should be mixed with 100 ounces of an alloy that is 70 copper in order to get that 40 copper?
To create an alloy with 40% copper, you would need to mix equal parts of the 20% alloy with the 70% alloy. This means you need to mix 50 ounces of the 20% alloy with 50 ounces of the 70% alloy to achieve the desired 40% copper content in the final alloy.

What elements are in aluminum foil?
Aluminum foil is not an element as the foil has a small amount of other stuff added to it to make it an alloy. Aluminum element would only have aluminum atoms and no other compounds added to it. An alloy has two or more metals together.
What would be the best way to make a solar powered oven?
You have to get the following materials... * Pizza box * Box knife or sissors * Alluminum foil * Plastic wrap * Black construction paper * and a stick 1st you cut a flap out of the box. Make sure to only cut 3 sides. Cover the inside flap of the flap with aluminun foil. 2nd You put plastic wrap over the hole in the box to act as a window. 3rd You line the bottom of the box with the aluminun foil and cover the ENTIRE inside of the box with black construction paper. and 4th You use a stick to prop up the flap at a 90 degree angle HOPE IT WORKS!!

What is difference between sheet and plate and foil?
Extremely thin thicknesses are considered foil or leaf. The aluminum foil is a solid sheet of aluminum (or alloy rolled to a thickness of 0.0059inches or less). At a thickness of 0.006inches or more it is referred as sheet and thickness more than 6 mm (0.25 in) is considered as plate.
