They are definitely an alloy. I don’t know what the composition is. I would be concerned with trying to repair an aluminium boat with brazing rods. Usually, cracks form from repeated flexing. Brazing will anneal the aluminium and make it even weaker. Tig welding is the only method I’d use on an aluminium hull. Perhaps mig if it can be done well. The brazing rods are great. I use them. Just not for hull repairs.
