You can prolly use many of them. You may not be able to tell if they're damaged until you get the alum out of them. Just look for chipped corners, nicked edges or excess "weld" from the alum melting. If you can get the alum out with a pick (and hammer?), and they're not too chipped, you should be able to at least use 'em for roughing.
