It has the advantage of consistency with other "ium" elements, but consistency isn't all that important in the English language.

Al solders work at well below the melting point of Al. Google "Alumiweld".
If you want some Aluminum Solder, You can contact me through my website:
I have a few rolls of it.
********************************************************* > What to do when you have to solder parts to aluminium?------------------ Cool :) Hopefully it's safe. Some posters warned me of toxic cadmium fumes.. Is it flux core?. (Assuming flux core also works with Al.) I'm preparing for the project for now and will be shopping for materials next month.
Thanks... I'll save the link. D

I got five, but this post was one of them. ;-)

Exactly once i successfully used standard 63/37 rosin core solder to solder normal electronic part leads to an aluminum clock hand. I did it immediately after filing the aluminum. I have not been able to repeat the event.
It just makes me wonder what they call the flux....
Phil.
perhaps your file was contaminated with oil?

Just how do you corollate a contaminated file with success?
The oil would keep oxygen from the fresh aluminum surface long enough for you to solder to it.
If the file had oil on it and left a thin layer of oil on the cleaned aluminium perhaps that could stop oxidation and allow soldering.
