Piece of cake.  Swap the Argoshield for pure argon, load some ali wire and 
use normal stainless wire feed speed and temps.  It is really that easy (oh 
and keep the job clean, ali welding 101).

We use a some serious welders (TIG, MIG and Arc) where I work, the sort 
that take a crane to move and require warnings to local power users if we 
want to switch them into high gear :)  We weld stuff like 16 gauge 
Stainless to 8mm cold rolled steel plate. (and that's on "low", there are 
two higher settings than that!)

When I built a kennel and run for the dog I used all the good tools, so the 
dog now has one of the most over-engineered dwellings in history :)
