Sodium hydroxide reacts with aluminium to form sodium aluminate and produces hydrogen.
2Al + 2NaOH + 2H2O → 2NaAlO2 + 3H2

No, because sodium hydroxide reacts with aluminium to form sodium aluminate and liberate hydrogen gas as aluminium is an amphoteric metal.
2Al + 2NaOH + 2H2O ===> 2NaAlO2 + 3H2
