When I started to make a set of long aluminum ramps for getting the race car on the trailer I found my 110v MIG welder was seriously stressed. I sold it and bought a 220V with much more power and it welds great. Aluminum needs a lot more heat and I found that preheating helped some since the heat disapates so quickly. I used the wire and gas recommended by the weld supply shop for 6061T6 and had no issues. I also have a couple of wire brushes that are used only for aluminum since they can pick up iron particles that will contaminate the aluminum welds. Your weld looks pretty dang good I'd say.
