Aluminum is not generally galvanized as the zinc would not be readily sacrificial for aluminum. There are steel products which derive rust resistance from a coating of aluminum and zinc alloy. Properly maintained, they will be rust free for 20 years or longer.

Why do galvanized roofs last longer?
Galvanizing is a process of coating sheet steel with zinc. It makes the steel rust resistant, thereby prolonging it's life. That's why the galvanized roof lasts longer.
Does wood silver aluminum copper gold and steel rust?
(For the purposes of answering this question I am rephrasing it as: "Which, if any, of the following materials 'rust': wood, silver, aluminum, copper, gold, and steel") The word "rust" (a verb) usually refers to the oxidation of iron, or most kinds of steel, to form an oxide of that material (i.e., iron oxide) on the surface, also called "rust" (a noun). More generally, the oxidation of any metal could be called rusting, in which case silver, aluminum, and copper all "rust" to differing degrees. To the best of my knowledge, gold and stainless steel do not oxidize under ordinary atmospheric conditions. (Silver "rust" is usually called "tarnish", copper "rust" "verdigris", and aluminum "rust" "aluminum oxide".) Wood is not a metal (nor an element), and its oxidation is ordinarily a fire producing ash and smoke, complex compounds containing many oxides, but never considered "rust".

Rust should generally not be an issue in normal indoor household environments. In rooms where uncontrolled moisture and humidity where rust a matter of concern, you can either avoid the problem altogether by using curtain rods made of non-rusting materials such as aluminum, wood, or copper. If iron or steel rods are used, they should be galvanized, zinc-coated, or aluminum coated.
