The best I ever saw welding aluminum was friend of family in his 80's .
For rod he used a pocket knife and carved a thread aluminum. Then used torch and weld about 16 gauge aluminum. The best I ever saw. He did aluminum welding in WW2 for from 1942 till 1945. He retire in 1958 and past away riding a bicycle in over 100° day at 99.
He welded was structural steel till 65.
He only welded aluminum for hobbies and models. Was great machinist but did not do machine work for a living
All he had was a old flat belt lathe a buss box and torch. He build fantastic engines
