the key is to get the aluminum soldering flux that works I had nothing but problems but someone at work left and they gave me a remains of a jar that wow it soldered foil like copper (NO BS LIKE mineral oil) this one looks correct from memory, I would have to go to my shop to check but the container looks right, and my leg hurts right now https://www.amazon.com/STAY-CLEAN-FLUX-4-OZ/dp/B008FM5JXI but I have a tiny 1oz bottle. hmm |

The problem is not only making electrical contact with aluminum but also that there are just a few mm showing and very fragile and quite inaccessible. It's not like I have a long end and can easily handle it. I cannot easily hold, scrape, etc. I can hardly get in there. If I handle it any more it's going to break and that will be the end of it. Which may be a good thing. |

Like I wrote earlier, forget brushing, oil etc. Just get aluminium flux with hydrofluoric acid, then it will solder almost like copper wire. |

Has anyone tried pointing a TIG torch at some aluminum electronics just with the gas on, then cleaning and soldering the aluminum part? Does it work well? |

I've never tried it at this (tiny) scale but could you try brazing, a.k.a. "aluminium welding", it? |
