Hi, you can consider Weller W100PG Farenheit Heavy Duty Soldering Iron with CT6F7 Tip, 100 Watt, 700 Degree.

To cross-check the temperature, you can use temperature sensors if you wish: https://www.theengineeringprojects.com/ … nsors.html

700 degrees Celsius is very hot. Steel glows red hot at that temperature. You’re not going to find a soldering iron that gets that hot. Are you sure it’s not spot welded or something?

Yes it really is. I'd imagine the components would be destroyed well before the aluminum reaches melting temperature.

Dene, why do you think it is aluminum solder?

700C would certainly damage almost all PCB dielectric materials.
