I cannot remember for sure, but in an electromagnet, an aluminum core would not have any permeability to add to the electromagnet's strength.
An electromagnet is more efficient when a thicker core is used; it generates more power. The material you use should be prone to magnetism, as in attracted by permanent magnetic apparatuses or the such.
So, an aluminum bar/core (cannot be magnetized), like you stated, wouldn't be the best choice for your magnet's core.

How do you separate iron fillings from aluminum fillings?
use a magnet
Which method is appropriate for separating a mixture of iron and aluminum?
You could do this using a magnet, Iron filings are attracted to a magnet, aluminium filings are not.Hint: magnetism, investigate the relative magnetic properties of the metals.Iron is a ferrous material, and aluminum is non-ferrous. A magnet would separate the two materials as the iron would be attracted to the magnet while the aluminum filings would not. The term ferrous basically refers to any material which contains iron.
How do you tell what are aluminum wheels?
