First, did you mean "precedes"? If so, that means "come before". I am assuming you meant "follows" since "Aluminum" is the only word you have in there. A whole sentence would be more helpful, but if my assumptions are correct, I would say no, unless it's a proper name, such as a brand name. Example sentence:

"For this project you will need three 6x6 aluminum sheets."

or

"For this project you will need three 6x6 Aluminum Wonder Sheets."

Does this answer your question?
