While wizards can make pretty much what they please, so far, aluminum is not made on any large scale or by any known non-magical means.
I suppose the frustrated inventors of the Church of Thoth know of it, but their marginalised status within Mulhorandi society means it is treated as a curiosity and nothing more.
I suppose that the Thothians launching an aluminum catamaran armed with smokepowder weapons would be a pretty scary adventure seed. They have all the theory... I wonder how long it takes them to realise the need and the potential benefit to their prestige and political power, obtain the Pharoah's consent and build a prototype?
