Despite aluminum being the most abundant metal on Earth, it does not interact with magnetic materials. The reason is a little complicated , but basically it's because the atoms, specifically the electrons, in solid aluminum are too far apart from each other to induce cohesive allignment of their magnetic dipoles. Hence the overall magnetic effects of the electron average out to zero, even in the presence of common magnets.

Is anodized aluminum magnetic?
NO. Aluminum and oxygen are paramagnetic and do not show magnetic behavior under normal conditions.
How come magnets don't stick to stainless steel?
Always did for me, are you sure you haven't confused aluminum for steel?
What kind of materials do magnets stick to?
Any type of metal basically. No, only FERROUS metals. Aluminum, Copper, Brass, etc won't stick to a magnet.
What do magnets stick on?
They stick to other magnets or iron, cobalt and nickel.
Will aluimiun stick to magnets?
No.
One way in which all magnets are alike?
They stick to aluminum cans
Can magnets stick to aluminium?
yes.......! i guess its yes because aluminum is a metal and all the metals are attracted by magnets so hence aluminum get attracted to metals...!
Why does steel stick to magnets but alomanem doesn't?
Because aluminum isn't made of metal

What are the 3 pure metals which don't stick to magnets?
Copper, Gold, Silver, Aluminum, Zinc and many more.

Is aluminum atracted to magnets?
No. Aluminum is not magnetic.

Does a magnet stick to zinc?
No. Only to iron and other ferromagnetic materials. Or if you form the aluminum into a coil and pass a current through it, then you have an electromagnet, which would be attracted to a magnet.
Do paper clips stick to magnets?
Magnets will stick to iron paper clips, but not to plastic ones.
Do magnets stick to titinum?
no
