How to Weld Aluminum with Inverter Welding Power Supplies?
Yes. Always use aluminum-specific filler metals, such as ER4043 or ER5356, depending on the alloy being welded. Clean the base metal thoroughly to remove oxide and contaminants
Inverters were introduced into welding power supplies first to generate direct current (DC) and later to generate AC.

For many years inverter power supplies were capable of supplying DC only. Inverters that output AC simply did not exist. This limited the use of inverters for welding aluminum, which normally is GTA welded using AC. Then someone had the idea of packaging two inverters inside one case.
