There maybe something else going on in the weld bead that I am unaware of (we do not weld on any of our flight parts.)
If you find a paper on any specific alloying concerns related to the weld joint or bead please forward them, I am always interested in learning.

You're confusing the hardening with the aging. Alcoa should have details on their site.
