Many of the more expensive & higher quality steel roof shingle types, like Decra, are hot dipped in galvalume, a mixture of Zinc & Aluminum, then special long life paint.
Decra has stone chips imbeded in the paint & has a 50 year roof warranty.

I have found 1 company that sells Aluminum shingle type, never seen one in person.

I found a great deal on Craig's List on Decra Shake dark green, $85 / square. I bought 25 squares & as my next house has not been built yet, I am planning roof size/pitch to have as little waste as possible. It is to be installed on 2x2 wood battens with horizontal screws, none face up.

Some breathing above roof wood decking & eave to ridge venting below.
