Would it be possible to have that filled using a TIG welder?
There's a special aluminum filler rod available that melts at lower temperatures.
- All you need is something like a plumbers torch. It's a similar process to lead wiping.
AI Overview
Low-temperature aluminum filler rods (often referred to as Alumiweld, Ultrabond, or flux-core aluminum brazing/soldering rods) melt at roughly 380°C to 450°C (716°F to 842°F), compared to pure aluminum, which melts around 660°C (1221°F).

I think they are pressure cast aluminum. I am beginner TIG welder, I have a sense I would make a mess trying to fill that in.
I have used those filler rods, they are 97% zinc and 3% aluminum. I will try them, thanks.
