Yes, aluminum can be used as a ridge cap on a corrugated iron roof. Aluminum is a lightweight and durable material that is resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor applications. It is commonly used for ridge caps as it provides a clean and finished look to the roof while also protecting against moisture penetration.

Why do they not use iron for guttering and drainpipes?
An iron roof would rust, and eventually leak. A stainless steel roof wouldn't rust, but it would be very expensive. There are cheaper water-proof materials. Tar-paper is popular because it is relatively cheap and very water-proof. The most usual kind of roof is wooden shingles on top of tar-paper, but there are several other kinds in use. Ceramic shingles work well. They are more expensive than wooden shingles but they are not only water-proof, but also fire-proof. Sheet metal actually is sometimes used, as long as it has a non-rusting coating, which is normally tin. A sheet of steel that is electroplated with tin will work. That's the kind of roof to which the title "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" refers. It's not pure tin, it's tin plating on steel.
