Here are some more information for Aluminum Weld:
In the past hundred years there has been hardly any product made from steel or aluminum that in some way did not require welding. The most common welding process has been arc welding in several forms. The process in it's most basic form is actually pretty simple. Take two pieces of similar metal. Place them together and then apply a heat source sufficient to raise the metal close to it"s melting point. Then apply a filler metal and fuse the pieces together.
Basic arc welders use a machine capable of producing an adjustable electrical current. Pass this current through a wire that has a device at it's end capable of holding a coated welding rod. From the welding machine run a wire, called a ground, and attach it somewhere along the metal to be welded. Next place the welding rod against the metal in such a way that it completes the electrical circuit which creates an arc between the welding rod and the metal. This arc will produce heat which heats both pieces of metal and the rod itself melts into the weld and when properly done both pieces of metal will be fused into a single assembly. The process of course is more complex than this as the electrical arc must be adjusted for various thicknesses of metal and various coated rods will also be used depending on the make up of the metal.
This system works very well for most common varieties of steel when the pieces to be joined are close to the same thickness. The basic arc welder does not work well when very thick pieces need to be joined to thick pieces. It is not possible to properly control the heat produced by the arc that would allow the thick piece of metal to heat enough with out completely melting the thinner piece. In addition exotic metals such as aluminum many times can not be arc welded. In these situations the TIG welder excels.
A TIG welder, whose name is derived from the technique, (tungsten inert gas), is a system that does not use the standard coated welding rod so common in basic arc welding. Instead of coated welding rods to shield the weld various gasses are used.
TIG welders are also known as Heli arc or GTIG, (gas tungsten inert gas), welders. This system while really an advanced arc welder also uses a machine to produce an electrical current. A ground wire is also used. The current is again passed thru a wire but the difference at the business end of this wire is the secret that makes this system work.
Instead of a clamp to hold a welding rod, the TIG welder has a holder called a torch that holds a short tungsten rod. The torch is also designed to emit a gas around the weld puddle which shields the weld from the atmosphere which would contaminate the weld.
The gas used varies again depending on the metal itself. Many gas mixtures are available but argon is probably the most common gas used. The torch also has a provision to circulate water within it to cool the torch.
An important feature of this system is that the arc which produces the heat needed to fuse the metal is controlled by a foot pedal which makes it very easy to adjust the heat to allow a thin piece to be welded to a thick piece of material. A bare filler rod is usually used to complete the weld. In addition the tungsten rod is not consumed during the welding process but must be reshaped as it wears away during while welding.
This basically describes the TIG welding process. Of course as with any metal working process there is much more involved especially as aluminum and other exotic metals are welded.

A Look At The Top Uses For Aluminum Tubing
Aluminum tubing can be used to make railing. Because aluminum railing is so lightweight, it expands greatly the number of locations where a walkway can be created. Aluminum railing can be used in a walkway at a very high elevation. The aluminum tubing can be transported without great difficulty to such a location.
Aluminum tubing provides a tool for hot water conveyance. Water that does not exceed 180 degrees F. can be carried from one location to the next in tubes that have a polyethylene exterior. Such multi-layer pressure tubing can have a layer of aluminum tubing sandwiched between two polyethylene layers.
Of course, as in a sandwich, it is important to retain the aluminum "filling" between the two layers of thin plastic. The aluminum is thus bonded to the polyethylene by a melt adhesive. That insures the tubing's ability to carry very hot water.
Anodized aluminum tubing is used in wheelchairs. The lightweight nature of the aluminum guarantees "easy-pushing" for anyone who must transport someone in a wheel chair. Because aluminum resists corrosion, the wheel chair holds up for a long time.
Science fiction writer Sigmund Brouwer focused on the lightweight nature of aluminum tubing in his story "Danger on the Red Planet." In that story the hero relies on a wheel chair to get from place to place. When he encounters difficulty with moving that wheelchair, he gets a clue as to the cause for the problem in his extra-terrestrial home.
World leaders have developed a surprising interest in aluminum tubing. Aluminum tubing is used in gas centrifuges, the type needed during the performance of uranium enrichment. Multiple centrifuges must be linked together to create a "cascade." Reliance on an aluminum tube facilitates completion of such a link.
Now whenever a country puts in an order for aluminum tubing, a number of people become suspicious. Some world leaders soon suggest that the country which placed the order plans to enrich uranium. Other world leaders then remind the accusers that aluminum tubes can also be used to make anti-tank rockets.
Manufacturers of aircraft parts have made extensive use of aluminum tubing. In fact, aluminum tubing was the key component in the Gossamer Condor. The pilot and designer of the Gossamer Condor achieved an historic first-the first successful flight of a human powered airplane.
Paul M. McCready designed the Gossamer Condor. Before sitting down at the design table, he observed hawks and falcons in flight. McCready decided that by lengthening the wings on a glider, without increasing the weight of the vehicle, he could create a human-powered airplane. He then used aluminum tubing in his extra-long wings.
Aluminum tubing has been used for the construction of antennae. Tubing makers have produced aluminum tubes of varying sizes. Smaller tubes can telescope into larger tubes. That feature underlines the tube's usefulness in an antenna.
Aluminum tubes have been used to make aluminum elbows. Such elbows can then be used to connect steel tubes. The linked steel tubes play a key role in the operation of a pneumatic conveying system.

Can you weld aluminum with a MIG welder without gas?
I have a Lincoln WeldPac, can I weld aluminum with this?
No. You will need pure argon for a shielding gas (or a mix of argon and helium if your machine were powerful enough, but it isn't)
Also, the 120V MIGs just don't have the power to weld aluminum more than 1/8" and barely at that. And you need to be welding at least 14 gauge to even have a chance of doing it without burn-through. It's just rarely worth it with these small machines, especially since you WILL have trouble feeding the wire through the 10-foot gun, even if you use the stiffer 5356 alloy, which doesn't weld nearly as easily as the 4043 alloy.
Coated aluminum rods are for welding with oxy-acetylene, not MIG welding.
