Why weld?
I doubt it would hurt unless you burn up the aluminum. |

I think what you want to really do is aluminum brazing.
The best aluminum rods for brazing are HTS-2000 Brazing Rods.
Works on non-ferrous alloys including "all" aluminum alloys (even the ones that cannot be welded), magnesium aluminum mixtures, zinc, die cast, pot metal, copper, bronze, and galvanized parts.
Use Any Heat Source, such as propane, butane, mapp, or an oxy-acetylene torch.
Just remember once you do this there is no turning back.
Hope this helps.
