It depends on what type of contaminents are present. Usually, a NEW stainless steel wire brush will do the trick.
If there is a large build-up of contaminants, you may consider using a grinding disc or flap disc on an angle grinder, again being sure that they are NEW and clean.
Also, there are chemical solvent cleaners available for the removal of storage oil on aluminium, I can't think of the names, but it should be available at your nearest welding supplier.

What is aluminum welding called?
It is called aluminum welding. Aluminum can be TIG welded, the most common method, or oxy-fuel welded, or stick welded, or MIG welded.

What is the best grade aluminium used in Tig welding?
The best grade of aluminum for TIG welding is typically 5XXX series, specifically 5052, 5083, or 5086. These grades offer good weldability, strength, and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for TIG welding applications.
What welder to use on autobody?
It depends on what you are welding. If you are doing welding on mild steel go with MIG welding; if it is aluminum or stainless steel then use TIG welding. TIG welding gives a nice looking finish. If you just want to get a decent look, then MIG is preferable and easy.
Do have to take stick welding before tig welding?
I was taught oxy/acetylene welding first, then stick. TIG welding is just like oxy/acetylene except much easier (less variables and a foot control to make minor corrections or even pulse the weld) I would recommend you learn both. TIG welding for precise/clean welding. Stick for some larger, perhaps special welding (hard facing tools - bigger pieces of steel).
What is a welding templates?
tig welding
Can aluminum be welded together?
Yes, aluminum can be welded together using various welding techniques such as TIG (tungsten inert gas), MIG (metal inert gas), and stick welding. Proper preparation, equipment, and technique are important for achieving a strong and clean weld when working with aluminum.
What can be used to repair an aluminum line other than welding?
the best way to get a good looking/ strong weld on aluminum is using a tig welder it is also possibles with a mig welder but for best results recommend a tig welder with HF
Tig is an input or output device?
Do you mean Tig welding?
What does tig stand for?
when refering to tig welding, tig stands for Tunsten Insert Gas
What exactly is a tig torch used for?
TIG (tungsten inert gas) torches are torches used for arc welding to produce high-quality, clean welds on many materials including steel, aluminum and copper. With a TIG torch, Argon gas protects the weld puddle from airborne contaminants, while a tungsten electrode is used to heat the metal.
What services does TIG Welding offer?
TIG welding is a method of welding. A tungsten electrode heats up the metal that is to be welded while a gas, such as argon, protects the weld from being contaminated. This method allows for clean, accurate welds. It can also be used on more metals than any other welding process.
