Welds do not make the material harder in aluminum. It does the opposite welds and area near the welds are the softest (generally the weakest) part on an aluminum Weldment. Engineers account for this by designing the weakest part (welds) to meet strength requirements of the part.

If you don't believe me please Internet search. Aluminum is different than steel and often confused on the topic of welds
