Aluminum does not exist in the elder scrolls games. Its a metal that was practicaly unworkable til the industrial age cause of its high melting point.

I believe Dwarven Metal is a mix of corundum and gold. You use corundum to improve steel-plate armor and gold is a metal that does not rust or tarnish, also the ingots color looks like a mix of the two.

With the strength of the metal you got to remember that silver is just as soft as gold and silver weapons exist in skyrim. i'm sure the dwemer could have worked aluminum. atherium also has a very high melting point but they were able to work that. also what is your source that aluminum doesn't exist in TES?
