Nope, to check this answer, do an experiment: hammer a piece of aluminum foil. You will see that it creases easily wheres steel cannot be broken down easily.
However, aluminum is also more light-weight than steel. Aluminum is cheaper to manufacture, easier to bend as needed into a variety of shapes, can be shipped more easily (less weight=less cost), and makes many items lighter in weight (cars, airplanes, etc.)
The one big drawback is that cars used to have steel bumpers. Since most are now steel or plastic, and bumpers are often the first to make contact with another car or object, the bumper is less sturdy now than when it was steel.
No, steel is generally stronger than aluminum. Steel is a denser and harder metal, making it more ideal for applications where high strength is required. Aluminum, on the other hand, is lighter and more malleable, making it suitable for applications where weight is a critical factor.

What is the difference between aluminum and steel?
Chemically, aluminium is an element, while steel is an alloy consisting mostly of iron. Although most aluminium items you see and use are also Alloys, strictly speaking. Steel is stronger but heavier. They have quite different material qualities.
What is stronger than steel?
Spider silk
Is steel stronger than water?
Yes it is.
Which is stronger Aluminium corrugated sheets or galvanised iron corrugated sheets?
Aluminium corrugated sheets are generally stronger than galvanised iron corrugated sheets because of the inherent strength of aluminium as a metal compared to iron. Aluminium is also more resistant to corrosion, making it a more durable option for outdoor applications.
Is hair stronger than steel.?
yep it is. It has much more tensile strength then steel.
Which is stronger Aluminium or steel?
if i had to take a guess i would say steel.
Is a diamond stronger than steel?
Yes. Actually... a diamond is NOT 'stronger' than steel. A diamond is 'harder' than steel, but it is not stronger.
Is steel stronger than nylon?
Steel is stronger than nylon
What are the advantages or disadvantages of steel vs aluminium cars?
Aluminium has some advantages over steel. Since it has a lower density than iron or steel, a car body made from aluminium will be lighter than the same car body made from steel. This results in improved fuel economy. Also, aluminium does not corrode easily, so a car body made from aluminium will corrode less, and may last longer, than one made from steel. However, aluminium is more expensive than steel. So a car made from aluminium is likely to be more expensive than one made from steel.

Does stainless steel corrode quicker than aluminium?
No
Why steel is used for cooking vessels?
Steel is hard and cannot be wrapped easily. Weight of steel is more than aluminium foil. Aluminium foil is rust-free.
Why is aluminium better for cars than steel?
One useful characteristic is that it is a lot lighter than steel.
What is the disadvantage of aluminum?
Aluminium is more expensive than steel
