Aluminum burns at over 4,100 K (6920°F), which is why it is used as a component of some solid rocket fuels. When it burns, it produces Al2O3 (alumina). Wow! You can really get some high exhaust gas velocity (and thrust) this way!

∙ 13y agoI do not think it can burn. the "show" you see as "burning-like" (it shrinks dramatically) is due to residual tensions into the material, following to calendering process used to make it as a foil.
As the temperature raises, viscosity of alluminium drops, this fact, around the melting point unleashes those tensions and the alluminium gets back to its previous physical state (far from being foil shaped). it can not burn, it simply shrinks. bye

How much heat can aluminum withstand?
That depends on what you are trying to ask.First point is that heat is energy in transit - if it isn't moving from one place to another it's technically not heat. Thermal energy - the energy held by a mass due to temperature is a better term, but even that is a bit ambiguous.With that in mind...if you mean how much energy can be stored as thermal energy by aluminum, you would have to look up the heat capacity - which is approximately 0.91 kJ/kg K (the exact value depending on temperature and purity of the aluminum)If you mean how much resistance aluminum foil can provide to the transfer of heat, that would depend on the temperature gradient and how shiny the aluminum was - shiny aluminum will reflect more heat that dull/burnished aluminum surfaces.
