Flux CAN weld it depending on the thickness of the aluminum, but it'll be a very dirty weld and it won't be too strong. I only use flux on thin steel and where it's non-visible. I went to non-flux with Agrgon/CO2 Gas, and the welds are MUCH cleaner and much stronger, but chances are that a weld like that will burn right through aluminum.
With all of that said, you're better off getting the aluminum wire to weld aluminum.
What kind of Mig do you have?sigpic
