You can get alusol ( not anusol! ) And that claims to allow you to

Also a company called superior flux that offers an aluminium cleaner

I have soldered aluminium with ordinary lead tin solder. The secret is
Carr's aluminium flux, and an open window.

Yes but it is ductile, and resistant to chemicals and UV, and feathers
better.
In my case it was to make electrical contacts to aluminium electrodes in
LI poly cells
