Default Aluminum brake line adapter - safe?

When I received my stainless brake lines for the front calipers, they came with a 90 degree adapter with 1/8" NPT into the Wilwood caliper and inverted flare on the other end to mate to the rigid steel brake line. I subsequently realized that 90 degrees was not going to work, so I bought a straight adapter locally, but this one was aluminum instead of steel. Now I'm wondering if aluminum is safe to use. I expect to spend some time at Willow Springs, so these calipers will see some heat. Any thoughts?
