Yes if you're American or Canadian, no if you're British, Australian, or New Zealander, and other varieties of English I'm afraid I'm not sure about. If you speak a variety that doesn't pronounce a second i, you probably also spell it without a second i

Not to mention many other languages that use two i's:

German, French: Aluminium Spanish, Portuguese: Aluminio Italian: Alluminio

Just to name a few.

'Aluminum' is just yet another instance where American English decided to be different for the sake of it, without any rhyme or reason.
