I very much doubt they will do anything to aluminium. Aluminium is such a good conductor of heat you need a powerful laser, otherwise the heat is conducted away faster than the laser applies it. If I recall correctly these lasers are only 200mW at best.

Yay, that was the site I was looking for George :) But I couldn't find it, boo.

I did come up with these though, yay. Looks like steel is easy for lasers, aluminium less so...
