I really don't know what the hell I'm talking about, so take this for what its worth.
I don't think that would work out very well, because of the huge difference in how the two metals respond to heat. I've been using some aluminum to make various knife parts, and it is pretty gummy (hardware store cheap stuff, not 6061 or anything).So it might be totally different than other alloys.
It seems like it transfers heat much slower than steel. Grinding 1/8" stock, I can dip the steel and its cool enough to work with. The aluminum tends to stay hot unless its submerged for a few seconds. It also expands a hellish amount when its hot, trying to grind some to thickness for a backspacer,I was checking it with a micrometer and it was growing. I had to completely cool it off to get a good measurement.
So I would be worried that the aluminum would hold the heat and effect the quench on the steel. I also wonder if the drastic expansion of the aluminum might mean that if you were to get it to quench fast like the steel it might break or warp, damaging the blade.
Just some thoughts, really don't know much about it.
