MIG welding aluminum?

I have a small MIG welder that DOES NOT have a setup for gas...it uses .035" flux core wire.
I have a roll of aluminum .035" wire....can I just put that in the welder and weld thin aluminum plates?
The only tips I find online say you need gas, but my other gas MIG cannot take .035" wire...

You need argon gas to weld aluminum and the power supply has to be pretty beefy. Also, you will have to change out the liner in the hose and possibly change out the gas cup and tip depending on how everything is setup currently. Honestly, I would try to get a MIG that can take solid wire or take the easy route and just use a spool gun.

If you are doing a limited number of plates that aren't too big then it might be easier to just invest in a TIG welder and use DC if need be. The AC machines will cost a decent amount more. Aluminum is not an easy metal to weld together unless you have the proper equipment, and it looks like you will have to upgrade something in order to do what you want.

Description

One of the best selling portable plasma cutters. BRAND NEW IN BOX. 4TH Generation Ramsond CUT 50DY, a 50 Amp, Dual Voltage (110V and 220V), Dual Frequency (50 and 60 Hz), Inverter Technology, High Frequency, Plasma Cutter. The CUT 50DY is the 4th generation of Ramsond line of plasma cutters; having evolved from the previous CUT50, CUT50D AND CUT50DX models. It is now equipped with DIGITAL AMP DISPLAY and INTEGRATED PRESSURE GAUGE located in the front panel. It is further upgraded witha fully insulated FOLDABLE HANDLE. It continues to utilize an UPGRADED GERMAN MADE COOLING SYSTEM. It has been internally redesigned to incorporate the latest high frequency inverter technology using V-MOSFETs made by TOSHIBA, along with PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), the combination of which help deliver a far more constant, concentrated and precise current to the cutting surface. This leads to a cleaner and more uniform cut. Furthermore, as a result of these improvements, CUT 50DY has been substantially reduced in size and weight. With the Ramsond CUT 50DY, regardless of your training, you can achieve smooth, clean and uniform cuts on a wide range of surfaces and material (e.g. stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, copper, brass, aluminum plate and other conductive material) with minimal heat input and without distortion of metal. This model has been designed so it is easy to use by the do-it-yourself user, while fully accommodating the demands of professional operators.
